When Sara Knapp and Orfeas Fischer write on their website: "Regional. Organic. Happy", they don't just mean their vegetables, but - especially when it comes to happiness - themselves too.
Unlike what is required by current agricultural policy, the two do not seek salvation in using even more poison on even larger areas. In their "Market Garden" between Kaiserslautern and Frankfurt am Main, they grow vegetables on 1500 square meters - by hand, with compost and minimal soil cultivation.
The half-hour report delves into the couple's everyday life and shows how they managed to build up their small business in just three years - and make a good living from it.
