A family farm in Liigvalla,
building it step by step.
Sometimes life takes you somewhere unexpected. For us, it brought us through the world to Estonia. Today we're building our life in Liigvalla together with our two children, our cattle, and the land around us.
Stefan is German. Inger and the children are Estonian. Together we're building a family farm that combines cattle, soil, food, and community.
Food that's good for people and good for the land.
Niiduveis started from a simple idea: that farming should produce healthy food while improving the land at the same time.
Stefan works as an agronomist with farms across Estonia and internationally, helping growers improve soil health and crop production through regenerative agriculture. At home, cattle became an important part of that same journey. Inger takes care of the daily animal work and helps keep the whole system running.
Together with partner farms in the region, we're bringing cattle back onto grain land to rebuild healthier soils, more resilient farms, and more living landscapes.
Breeders and beef producers — a bit of both.
Our Aberdeen Angus herd is pedigree registered because we want to breed cattle that truly work in an Estonian grazing system — animals that thrive on grass, raise good calves, and stay productive for many years.
Alongside the pedigree herd, we use crossbred cattle for efficient beef production. Both have their place: one helps us develop better genetics, the other helps us produce more food. Both help restore the natural ecosystem processes that once belonged in Estonia's agricultural landscapes.
Better together than alone.
Different farms bring different things to the table. Niiduveis brings cattle and grazing. Our partners bring land, machinery, and a willingness to try something different.
The cattle gain access to land. The grain farms gain access to ecosystem processes that once belonged in agricultural landscapes. Good for the soil. Good for biodiversity. Good for both farms.
Over time, beef from this small circle of farms will be sold here too — same standards, same honesty. Every box will always show which farm it came from.
