27 hectares in tune with nature
Hi Martina,
I think it's probably best to not go for an exact translation here, as it sounds rather scientifically dry to say "species-appropriate". My suggestion is very free and easy, I know - maybe better suggestions will come - but I think it's what the text is trying to say. I haven't mentioned the animals specifically - you might like to add "in tune with animals and nature" - but the farm is also agricultural - at least in part - so I think "in tune with nature" should cover it.

It is not entirely clear to me what kind of text this is... Sales pitch?
My impression is that artgerechter Lebenswandel is a kind of back-to-nature approach. I like the idea of in tune with nature. My suggestion is an alternative along the same lines. Changing the sentence structure - i.e. using the gerund - might make the information flow better.
