It features approximately 70 varieties of fruit, including walnut and sweet chestnut. We process most of the fruit into juice. Since 2021, orchard cultivation has been recognized as intangible cultural heritage in Germany and is celebrated every year on the last weekend in April when all the fruit trees are in bloom.

Behrenhoff was called Busdorf until 1804 and had belonged to the von Behr family since the 14th century. On behalf of Carl Felix Georg von Behr, a two-story, late classicist manor house was built in the 1830s to replace the previous baroque manor house. The architect was possibly Friedrich Hitzig. His widow Louise Wilhelmine Gustava von Heyden had a landscape park created in the 1840s based on the plan of Peter Joseph Lenné.[2] Mechthild Countess von Behr, the last noble owner, was granted lifelong usufruct after her husband's death. She was against the National Socialists. Approached by Albrecht Schönherr, from 1936/1937 it offered accommodation on the estate for Confessing Church events. Bible studies and lectures took place during the so-called free periods. In addition to Schönherr, Eberhard Bethge, Günter Jacob, Volkmar Herntrich and Ernst Lohmeyer, among others, gave lectures. It is unclear whether Dietrich Bonhoeffer actually took part in events in Behrenhoff, as stated several times. On May 8, 1945, the mansion burned down. The ruins were later dismantled to produce building materials for new farms. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landschaftspark_Behrenhoff#Schloss_Behrenhoff

Landscape park with old trees and an eventful history. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landschaftspark_Behrenhoff#Schloss_Behrenhoff The landscape park is around ten hectares in size, the swan pond (former peat pond) in the southern part is three hectares. It extends from the northern edge of the village, where the old farm buildings of the former estate are still located, in a southwesterly direction. It is divided in two by the village street. The area is separated from the street and the historic estate village by a wall, which also includes the cemetery with the Behrenhoffer Church. The entrance to the northern part is dominated by the striking Bärentor, built around 1900. The two plastered pillars have coupled double half-columns at the front and back. They are crowned by bears with heraldic shields. The bear on the left holds the coat of arms of the von Heyden family, the one on the right that of the von Behr family. The park's rich dendrological stock includes a leatherbush tree, two copper beeches, a tulip tree, a red oak with a witch's broom, a multi-stemmed sweet chestnut and a multi-stemmed silver linden tree. There are also several lily magnolias and rhododendrons in the complex. In spring, larger populations of Märzenbecher characterize the park.
