The 4th edition of the week
from 23 to 27 September

Dem BIO-Bauer säi ganze Stolz

The “Vereenegung fir Biolandwirtschaft Lëtzebuerg a.s.b.l.”, is organizing the 4th BIO Week in 2026 “Dem Bio-Bauer säi ganze Stolz” with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Viticulture as well as many sponsors.

Starting from September 23, European Organic Agriculture Day, all of Luxembourg will be in the spirit of organic farming.

« Dem Bio-Bauer säi ganze Stolz » est aussi cette année le slogan de la campagne.

The « BIO-Woch » 2026 is a major awareness campaign, this year focusing on producers and consumers. The goal is to highlight the people who are committed to organic farming every day, whether through their work or their purchases.

At the heart of the campaign, eight ambassadors, four producers and four consumers, share their stories and beliefs with us.

Among them are Greg Colling organic farmer from Karelshaff, the organic winemakers Mathieu and Nicolas Schmit-Fohl from Domaine Schmit-Fohl, organic farmer Pol Fischbach from Biohaff Fischbach, organic beekeeper Marc Thiel, Steve Lentz, voted best vegan chef in the world in 2024, Kirsty von Boch, culinary journalist, John Schlammes, expert in Ayurveda and yoga, and Aurélie Wagener, influencerin.

The campaign is for anyone who wants to learn more about organic foods, where they come from, how they are produced, and what organic really means.

From September 23 to 27, there will be a program with cooking classes, workshops, tastings, and Open Days at organic producers. Consumers will be able to see behind the scenes, meet the producers, and learn to cook for themselves. Workshops and information booths on topics like nutrition during pregnancy or children's food, with specialist Maxi Pesch, will also be offered.

Furthermore, signs in twelve municipalities show the way to the organic producers in your area. In some supermarkets, shoppers can also find signs indicating the distance in kilometers to the nearest organic producer. Each sign comes with a QR code that links to information about the farm.

Become a partner of the « BIO-Woch » and support Luxembourg's organic producers.

Women in (organic) agriculture

2026 is the year of women in agriculture. Stay tuned for more information of this very important topic!

FAO

Meet three of our organic female farmers:

Tessy Brisbois

My name is Tessy, I am 31 years old, married, and a mother of two children.

Following the sudden death of my father in 2025, I had to make a decision about the future of the farm within a relatively short period of time. It quickly became clear to me that I wanted to switch to Angus cattle and reduce the size of the herd. As luck would have it, I had the opportunity to take over an entire herd.

The decision to convert to organic farming was also made relatively quickly, because both nature and the animals are very important to me. Since our animals are fed exclusively with feed produced on our own farm, going organic was, in many ways, the natural path for us.

As a woman, working in conventional agriculture can often be challenging. I experienced this particularly strongly after my father’s death. Among organic farmers, however, I feel very much at home, and there is far less competition.

Organic farming means much more than simply giving up pesticides. It means solidarity, innovation, progress and “we” – moving forward together, and making that journey possible as a woman, too.

Caroline Witry-Massard

Since 2012, I have been working on our organic farm, committed to biodiversity, animal welfare, high-quality food and sustainability.

As a farmer and teacher, I show how essential the role of women is in agriculture: they take responsibility and bring new ideas.

With “MuhltiKUHlti”, I open the doors of our dairy farm. Throughout the four seasons, children discover how nature influences the animals and agricultural work.

During each visit, they first focus on the animals’ well-being, particularly by helping to feed them. They also make butter, muesli, fresh cheese or bread.

Every action leaves a trace, and thoughtful choices help nurture a living future for nature.

Marie Kox

Marie Kox, 33, represents the sixth generation of Domaine Sunnen-Hoffmann, which she now runs alongside her mother. Located in Remerschen, the estate is celebrating 25 years of organic farming in 2026, a pioneering commitment in Luxembourg.

Convinced that great wines are born from a living ecosystem, Marie continues this commitment with passion, combining respect for nature, innovation and generations of family expertise.

Her ambition is to produce authentic wines that truly reflect their terroir, while preparing the estate for the challenges of tomorrow and promoting Luxembourgish wines beyond the country’s borders.
