Anya - "Bionierin" of Monte Carlo
With the lavish lives in Monaco, the organic loading Anja Plate has little to do. My little shop "Bio-Atlas is simple, with its wooden shelves.
Go in it, covered a bright red tomatoes in the eye. Juicy apples tempted to bite. Warmth and affection towards each stream entering.
That is what Christopher has earned its solid customer base: with a charming, natural nature and warm smile. And of course, with its' selection of special products, "says a regular customer.
Even the rich and aristocrats among their customers. "The pass, however, not himself, but to send their domestic workers. Often I do not know to whom they belong, "the 43-year-old says. A celebrity, however, is personal: millionairess and Baroness Marianne Brandstetter.
As the product is sought after by the Bio-Atlas, is seen at the German Alpine cow's milk. Anja says: "Milk is the winner. The clients I take it by the box from the pallet. "
In the biodynamic cultivation of her friends came 2000, the idea of their own organic food shop. She was ridiculed, and many doubted. Anja has bitten him, and could double its sales last year. Even employees they could, set ", the crowds became so large."
For two years she has competition: A second market opened. "He's running very well. My business, he has not threatened but "says Anja. Although Monaco is available in more and more "organic", Anya does not believe that it has triggered the boom. But it has given the go-ahead to Rhinelander.
Every two months she is in her home on the outskirts of Bonn. Then there's Kolsch - brewed, of course, after the purity requirement.
