Bergisch Pur items now being crafted in the glass studio
In the heart of Solingen, the Glass Workshop is set to host Bergisch Pur's dry product range at the upcoming Indoor Christmas Market on December 14th. This farmers' cooperative, established 27 years ago, has made a name for itself in the Bergisches Land region by promoting sustainable, regional, and environmentally friendly products.
Bergisch Pur's product range is now more diverse than ever, with the addition of fruit juices, fruit-bread spreads, honey, coffee, mineral water, and alcoholic beverages such as apple cider "Apple Pearl". The co-op works with local producers, many of whom are small farms essential for a species-rich and structurally rich cultural landscape.
The partnership between Bergisch Pur and the Biological Station Mittlere Wupper in Solingen's Glass Workshop is a natural fit. The Biological Station focuses on nature conservation and environmental education, making it the perfect ally for Bergisch Pur's mission. Large posters designed by Solingen artist Emma Schneider in the Cube, a shared space by Bergisch Pur and the Biological Station, showcase the networking of honey and bees.
Ariane Bischoff, who leads the sustainability and climate protection department of the city of Solingen, emphasises the importance of making sustainable, regional products experienceable and purchasable. The team at the Glass Workshop is pleased with the growing offer of regional products in their location.
Producers wishing to bear the Bergisch Pur label must meet certain criteria, such as understanding themselves as partners of wild bees and creating nesting places for wild bees. Bergisch Pur has also developed its own measures to support these small farms, as joining a bio association can often be too expensive for them. These measures were developed in cooperation with the biological stations, ensuring that in addition to regionality and high quality, nature conservation also plays a role.
One such producer is Norbert Stamm, who supplies Bergisch Pur with honey and fruit spreads, while Klaus Weber provides apple juice made from apples from orchards in the Bergisches Land. The products in the Glass Workshop are packaged and durable, making them not only a delight to the taste but also a sustainable choice.
In addition to the Glass Workshop, Bergisch Pur products can be found in many supermarkets. For those who wish to explore the range more fully, the Glass Workshop is open Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 12 - 18, and Saturdays 11 - 14.
