The biggest investment in the history of the company was made this year by Bio-Lieferservice Lotta Karotta from Rittmarshäus. The company, which was founded in 1999, invested 750,000 euros. Bioland and Demeter products are mainly distributed regionally. The clientele in Greater Göttingen is nowadays provided with a range of up to 1,800 organic articles, 70 percent of which are fruits and vegetables, the company's management told the Göttinger Tageblatt.

Partnerschip & Online Trade
Lotta Karotta, which has 25 employees at this time, was originally founded in order to market vegetables of its own 'Rote Rübe, Schwarzer Rettich' farm. The nursery, with 10 employees, is managed by the current owner, together with a partner. Nowadays, customers order mostly online, but sometimes they also order by phone," says Schlick. Some 15 percent of the turnover is generated by 50 schools in the region. Another 5 percent is accounted for by companies. Private households currently account for 80 percent of sales.
Climate-friendly company
The Bode & Stephan company installed a 94-kilowatts solar system on the 500 square meter, southwards oriented plot of Lotta Karotta. The cooling surface was doubled and equipped with a climate-friendly pellet heater. Furthermore they switched their lighting to LED-technology.
