A Peek into the Farmer's Kitchen
Watch the beanstalks and sunflowers grow, they seem to compete with each other. Bright orange pumpkins are dotting the fields.
You have arrived on the farm, on your well-deserved holiday for food lovers. Lean back and relax.

Meanwhile, the friendly cow Lisa grazes nearby, keeping you company. Revel in the variety of options! A holiday for food lovers on a farm in Austria will be the highlight of your summer holidays.
If you feel like it, you can spend your morning in the fields or the vegetable and herb garden. Return to the farmer’s kitchen with a well-stocked basket. Be all ears when your host, the farmer, gives away her secret recipes! You will learn everything about the perfect ratio for baking bread. What it’s all about when they talk about crust and crumb. Or which herbs can be used for which purposes and in which combinations.
There’s a lot going on in the farmer's kitchen, also in winter. Peek over the farmer’s shoulder and look how she’s turning last year’s harvest, canned or dried fruit and vegetables, into wintry delights. A lot of these culinary treats have become an integral part of winter and Christmas traditions. Preparing these traditional dishes together with your farmer and host is something very special.
And let’s be honest: it’s extremely meditative to clean the freshly picked organic vegetables in the kitchen sink while you let your eyes wander, gazing out of the window at the open fields.
It makes me so happy to see our guests go into raptures over the delicious food that's produced here. For me, it's very important to show people how food is produced and where it comes from.
