Loitzhof

Immerse yourself in the authentic world of Loitzhof and taste our farm-fresh specialties! We offer golden, natural organic honey from our own apiary, noble, homemade brandies, and delicious, homemade fruit spreads. Our special organic Oxymel completes the offer. Depending on the season, we also spoil you with fresh organic eggs directly from the farm and our valuable organic milk. Please note that while our cows enjoy their well-deserved summer retreat on the lush alpine pastures of Obertauern, there is unfortunately no fresh milk directly available at the farm – a clear sign of our nature-oriented farming and the special animal welfare we stand for.

While our cattle take a short break on the alpine pasture over the summer, all the animals left behind particularly look forward to cuddles and small treats!

We run an organic dairy farm with a free-stall barn and plenty of pasture and alpine grazing time for all cattle. The animals are horned, receive no concentrated feed, and belong to an endangered cattle breed. Our breeding bull naturally ensures offspring, with the veterinarian only rarely needing to intervene.

There is a photovoltaic system on the farm with a power storage unit, an energy management system (smartfox), and a charging station for electric cars. Heating is provided by a wood chip heating system; we have our own drinking water source and a biological wastewater treatment plant. We manage over 2km of hedges, produce organic meadow seeds, support birds with numerous nesting aids, and have several contracts with the Nature Conservation Department of Salzburg province.

Memberships with: Bio Austria, Naturland, Arche Austria (Home of rare livestock breeds).
