Alina Sannmann
Alina Sannmann (31) continues to run the family business Gärtnerei Sannmann in Hamburg-Ochsenwerder. The business is now in its 10th generation and has been growing Demeter-certified vegetables since the 1980s. Marketing is mainly carried out via wholesalers and subscription boxes or other B2B concepts. Since this year, the focus has shifted to direct marketing, for example through self-picking, farm tours and cooking events in the nursery. As managing director, Alina Sannmann is currently increasingly concerned with the question of how a food-producing business can survive in the Hamburg area and how it is possible to pay fair wages in the face of increased competition from other European countries.

A team of six strong women create and produce at the Barmbek site. They consistently use the best organic spices - salt and sugar are not used as cheap fillers. This means that the 1001 spice blends are "little concentrates, so to speak", explains Katharina Wilck: "They have an intensity that industrially produced spices can only furtively dream of
