Huize Sevenaer
Huize Sevenaer (Huis Sevenaer, Huize Zevenaar or Huis Seventer) is a castle farm in Zevenaar, the Netherlands. The estate has existed since the 14th century and since 1947 has been the last remaining fully operational castle farm in the country, and one of the few remaining in Europe. The castle has been private property of the van Nispen family since 1785, and is owned and operated by Sir H. van Nispen.
==Agriculture==
The castle grows all its own food for its cattle and is run solely on macrobiotic principles. Sir. H. van Nispen in public interviews announced the importance of a country's self-sufficiency to grow its own food, especially during times of crisis. Sir. H. van Nispen was strict against the use of pesticides. This estate has been solely organic since World War II and probably for centuries before that. Rare native plants grow on the estate. The farm is fond of companion planting and other principles now known as "permaculture" or "macrobiotic farming."
Early on as research by Dr. Grashuis made the link between certain diseases in cows and livestock and the use of artificial fertilizer. Sir H. van Nispen decided to bring the ground as well as the plants on it in a healthy balance. His thesis was that everything in nature has a place and when you can restore a balance in your local ecosystem you will have a healthy crop without the use of any chemicals, and consequently preventing diseases from anyone consuming those chemicals.
Studying insects such as lady bugs and where they fly to and from was one of the aspects of maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Bugs are beneficial, but not in large amounts. Knowing the proper function of each weed and bug is crucial in maintaining a healthy garden. Local farmers have often stopped by since they want to know why a herd of 50 Piëmontese never gets visits of a vet or get inoculated on a farm that does not even use artificial fertilizer.
