RealmEarthThere are places I have never been...Hochter farmFarmThe Hochter farm is a small cattle farm located in the Denron neighbourhood of the Vöhren district. It is situated near the crossroads of the Kild River and the Holle River. The property is owned by the Hochter family, who primarily engage in raising and trading cattle. They either keep the cattle on their land or buy from local farmers, then sell the cattle or the produce to others. Their primary trading partner is Silbers butchery, a kosher butcher in the city of Lutheria, which is affiliated with the Hochter-Silbers family.   The current building is a combination of a house and a stable. Later, an additional separate stable was added. The former building was much bigger but was destroyed by a fire in 1839. The new house and stable are primarily made of a pine wood structure and cladding that was sourced locally. The main building houses the family and includes a stable for the most prized cattle. In the past, the farm came with a large piece of land for grazing, but due to flooding and river repositioning, almost 30% of the land has been swallowed up. The family was never compensated, nor could they reclaim the land on the other side of the river.

Location

Hochter farm is located in Denron. Denron is a neighbourhood situated in the District of Vöhren, which is a part of Amt Aldáer. The community is predominantly inhabited by farmers, with the most notable estates being Lutz, Lympha and Hochter. These estates are either owned by the inhabitant or an external person, such as a landlord, baron or marquess. Before 1798 however, the whole neighbourhood was managed by the Rhodon family, who resided at Fieldfare Manor. Because of the patriotic movement and financial problems, the family had to sell their shares of the land and move out. Fieldfare Manor now stands derelict.   The majority of the neighbourhood is covered by a dense, ancient pine forest known as ""Grenn forest"". This forest is protected due to its age and ecological value, with only small portions developed into farmland. Grenn Forest is utilized for agroforestry, where various crops are grown amidst the ancient trees, including fruit and nut trees, mushrooms, as well as locally present species like juniper, cranberry, and blackberries. Additionally, animals such as sheep, chickens, and deer are raised by man in the forest.   In the southeast of the neighbourhood lies a raised bog, an extension of the Wester Wüste. The bogland is utilized for peat mining, and the ponds are used for retting flax. Denron
