About agriculture in Horgen / Allmend
Horgen and its Allmend district are situated on the southwestern shore of Lake Zurich in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland. The landscape is characterized by its rolling hills and proximity to both the lakeside and the forested heights of the Albis range, offering a scenic transition between dense urban development and the traditional Swiss countryside.
Agriculture in this region is primarily focused on small-to-medium-scale dairy farming and fruit cultivation, particularly apple and pear orchards that benefit from the temperate lakeside microclimate. Farmers in the area also maintain pastures for livestock and produce high-quality forage crops, essential for maintaining the local dairy industry standards.
For agricultural workers and agronomists, the area offers seasonal opportunities tied to the harvest cycles of fruit and field crops. While employment is often on smaller, family-operated holdings, there is a consistent need for skilled labor during peak times, and the proximity to the city of Zurich provides good access to research institutions and agricultural support networks.
