The Team

Community Power

PlantAge eG was founded on September 15, 2018 as a community-supported agriculture – with the aim of creating a sustainable, fair and future-oriented agriculture. Since July 2019, we have been delivering fresh, biocyclic-vegan vegetables from our own field to pick-up stations in Berlin, Potsdam, Frankfurt (Oder) and the surrounding area on a weekly basis.

PlantAge is backed by a diverse community that has brought the project to life through financial support, social commitment and practical involvement. We are united by the vision of harmonizing nutrition, agriculture and the environment and thus making a positive contribution to our society.

Our team consists of committed people who work together in various areas to bring PlantAge to life:

  • Field team: with a great deal of expertise and passion, they look after the cultivation, care and harvesting of over 40 different vegetable crops.
  • Office team:They are the point of contact for members, organize processes and are on hand to answer your questions.
  • Delivery team: Week after week, they ensure that the freshly harvested vegetables arrive at the pick-up stations on time.
  • Board of Directors and Supervisory Board: They are responsible for the strategic direction and economic stability of the cooperative.

Our members are the heart of PlantAge. Together, they actively contribute to making our vision of sustainable agriculture a reality. Their commitment shows that solidarity farming is a genuine collaboration based on mutual trust and shared values.

A special feature of PlantAge is its biocyclic-vegan cultivation – one of the most sustainable forms of agriculture. Without animal fertilizers, with innovative cultivation techniques and a deep respect for nature, we grow over 40 different crops. From Chinese cabbage to celeriac, from kale to beet – our diversity in the field not only makes our diet varied, but also consciously seasonal.

We invite you to become part of our growing community. At PlantAge, we work together to shape an agriculture that focuses on people, the environment and the future.

Whether as comrades, volunteers or supporters - we welcome everyone who shares our vision!

Work With Us

Board of Directors

With a background in business administration and experience in Berlin’s start-up scene, I was driven by the desire to build something with purpose. My goal was to create a company that makes a lasting, sustainable contribution to society. It is particularly important to me that every decision is in line with both our environmental and social values. For me, PlantAge is proof that economic activity and the common good do not have to be contradictory - they can go hand in hand.

At PlantAge, I am responsible for business management, crop planning and field coordination.

Frederik Henn

I founded PlantAge while I was still studying ecology and environmental planning at the TU Berlin. During this time, I learned a lot about the impact of agriculture on our environment and immediately felt the need to make a difference. With a vegan diet, each individual can make an important contribution to climate protection. With the biocyclic-vegan cultivation at PlantAge, we can now also implement these values in the field.

At PlantAge, I focus on compilation of the weekly harvest box, the weekly vegetable letter, public relations and the coordination of events.

Supervisory Board

As a lawyer and supporter of a socially-oriented society, I advise the cooperative as Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board. In doing so, I rely above all on the integration of all members and their interests within and outside the board and support the Management Board as a strategic advisor.

Fanny Andernach | Chairwoman

Through my main professional activity as a consultant in corporate transactions, I contribute my knowledge of financial and liquidity planning, corporate law issues and the development of corporate strategies to the cooperative.

Manuel Gadau

With my experience in logistics at HelloFreshGO, I want to help get the project “off the ground” and to the comrades in Berlin. I am particularly interested in the transparency of the company and knowing where our food comes from and that it is grown without animal suffering.

Ferdinand Schwarz

With my practical knowledge from management consulting in the eCommerce and logistics sector, I am pleased to be able to support PlantAge in changing agriculture in Europe. From my self-employment and from my clients, I know the transformative power that small organizations can have.
