And-Hof Structures

Even many of the human-made products on the farm that have outlived their original purpose, will often find a new life by being re-purposed at And-Hof.

Logging acres of century old trees and bulldozing over intact, undisturbed eco systems only for the sake of establishing conventional pasture land is not an option. Nor is it necessary. We log trees very selectively to open up a dense canopy of leaves to allow sufficient sunlight to grow Silvo Pastures while at the same time supplying the materials needed to build the Sanctuary’s structures. Any tree is evaluated before it is being logged. Specie, age, height, health and the nutrients it provides to the forest’s flora and fauna are taken into account before it is removed.
