  • Description

    Description

    We are a family in the nice and big mountains of South Austria
    We are running an organic Farm with about 25 cows and calves, some chickens, 2 pigs, a dog and two cats.
    We have 20 ha of grassland, about 60 ha of forest and 15 ha of alp.
    The farm is located on the sun side of a mountain called Woellernernock, very close to Villach.
    I (Samuel) live here with my girlfriend Sarah and my parents Heinz and Elisabeth.
    There is a lot of work to do all year 'round, but the most fun it is during summer when it is warm and sunny. In the cold season from November to April we are mostly inside getting ready for the next season and also keeping the animals fed in the stable.
