A hundred of hungry muzzles want to be fed every day;
there is a lot to do.
Our farm is specialized in milk production and it is
the home of about one dozen milk cows and young cattle.
Around the house there are about 5 hectare of beautiful
grassland. While you are milking, mucking out or feeding
the cows and calves, you experience the daily life on a
traditional farm. For the kids there is a mini zoo with
goat “Lisl”, sheep “Kiki”, guinea pigs and a lot of
bunnies.
A gaggle of clacking chickens is responsible for your
breakfast eggs. Did you actually know, that our chickens
lay their eggs in a tree trunk? The lazy cats just take
a sunbath and try to annoy our farm dog “Nico”.

In the stable
Our farm is a dairy farm. In the stable are around 10
milking cows, which are the breeds “Braunvieh”,
and “Jersey” plus young cattle calves. At the end of May
the young cattle head up to the Alpine meadow and don´t
return until thanksgiving. The cows get milked twice a
day.
During the milking time you are welcome to accompany us
and if you want you can even join in, when we do our
daily routines.
The milk gets chilled and carried by tractor to a collecting point.
At 7.30am the milk truck delivers the milk to the
dairy “BRIMI” in Brixen. That’s where they produce the
popular mozzarella, ricotta, butter and other delicious
products.
