Rittergut Erichshof is an agricultural estate near Gehrden with large fields growing grain, sugar beets, and rapeseed across its land. The property includes a farm shop and designated areas where visitors can pick their own fruits and vegetables.
Friedrich Buresch acquired the estate in 1870 from Erich von Lüpke and gained knightly status for the property in 1877. The family later modernized operations and expanded into strawberry cultivation during the 1970s.
The estate is run by the Buresch family, now in its fifth generation, and holds harvest thanksgiving festivals on the grounds. Its farm shop and self-picking fields sell produce grown on the estate's 300 hectares, where grain, sugar beet and rapeseed are cultivated.
The property is accessible via the Grüner Ring cycling network, making it convenient for day visits. Visitors should plan around seasonal availability for self-picking activities and wear sturdy footwear when walking through the fields.
The estate developed one of the oldest strawberry plantations in the Hannover region during the 1970s. This specialized growing area continues to operate today and draws visitors interested in harvesting regional produce directly.
