For almost three weeks now, apricots have been diligently harvested at the Kiefer fruit farm in the heart of the Ortenau. "We are about ten days behind with all crops, but the yields are quite good," says owner Matthias Kiefer, who grows plums as well as currants, peaches and table cherries on about 80 percent of his land.
