Together…?
What effects do crises have? More egoism? Solidarity? Razorblades on your elbows? Probably all of the above. But we are certain, that in times like these, togetherness is crucial to address the challenges. And that is why we want to inspire you: With stories of people, who are successful because they are working with appreciation and respect for people and nature.
With ideas and products, that use resources mindfully. With background information on Fairtrade and work at eye level. And by being optimistic that if we stick together, we will “make it work somehow”. Certainly.
Our biggest asset: Confidence.
New year – new luck? Definitely. Optimism and confidence are our best and most important resources – that is at least what we at Mount Hagen believe. Here, you can read why we think that and what can be achieved by it.
The courage to eat salad.
Salad with coffee? That is not only possible – it is super delicious. So, have the courage to try something new and try this salad with orange-coffee-dressing. You will be surprised.
Oprah? Redford? Greta? Sting? Granny?

Pasta with coffee? Unbelievable? Unbelievably delicious.
Pasta is always our go-to dish – but with coffee? That was even new for us. The whole editorial staff was quite curious about the outcome when we cooked this dish together. The result: Wow. It takes a while but is definitely worth the time.
The courage to become independent. Part 2: Self-sufficiency
How does dropping out work? Is It actually possible to live self-sufficient – in the city? For part 2 of our series “The courage to become independent” we gathered some ideas on how self-sufficient living can work. And that does not only concern food and water. Even when it comes to energy supply you can become at least partly independent. But we saved the latter for part 3 of our series.
No more rotting.
Let’s be honest – Who has not had rotten peppers or carrots in theor fridge before? Rotten lettuce? That went directly into the trash? With a guilty conscience, but even the few good leaves that were left would have tasted terrible. But you can change that. Here are some tricks for the proper storage of different types of food in and outside the fridge.
Another good reason for drinking more organic coffee.
Some numbers even impress us coffee freaks. Here are some, that are one more reason for us to produce 100% organic coffee. Curious? Then check this out.

The courage to be chaotic.
The yard as a green retreat? The balcony as a vacation spot? For most of the hobby gardeners the terrasse, balcony, or yard serve as an extension of the living room. Unfortunately, that often means that there is absolutely no room for bees, butterflies, and the like. Because they need a bit of wilderness. In this article, you find out how you can easily make that happen, while still keeping it “cozy”.
Give us a break.
Many of us are probably feeling the same at the moment: Summer is right around the corner and we want to travel again. Go on a nice vacation. Burry our heads in the sand – but at the beach. Understandable. So, let’s talk about (more) ecologic travelling.
