Sativa regularly offers guided tours on the first Saturday of the month for individuals, families or small groups. At the company headquarters in Rheinau (ZH), not far from the Rhine Falls, Sativa employees illustrate the fascinating processes surrounding seeds. Topics include

Organic seeds of vegetables, herbs and flowers have been propagated and bred in the historic town of Rheinau since 1998. It all started small in the old monastery garden of the former Benedictine monastery and since then Sativa Rheinau AG has developed into one of Europe's leading organic seed producers.

During the guided tour, you will first gain an insight into the complex processes involved in propagating seeds and breeding new varieties for organic farming.

You will also see how a variety of different seeds are prepared using special machines. The new wooden operations building near Klosterplatz combines state-of-the-art technology with successful aesthetics and integration into the historical surroundings of the monastery. In addition to storage and picking, you will see how the seeds are bottled and their quality checked.

Seeds are the basis of all nutrition. With the claim to produce ecologically and sustainably, Sativa Rheinau AG is also in the field of tension of agricultural policy and progressive monopolization.
