The World of Our Farm

With hands in the soil, harvesting fresh produce, and experiencing the rhythm of farm life — an invitation to discover nature through all the senses. Here, the connection to animals, plants, and the origins of our food becomes tangible. Children and adults immerse themselves in the living rhythm of the farm, caring for animals, wandering through forests and meadows, and enjoying the gifts of our gardens. A place where nature, awareness, and playful discovery naturally come together.

STABLES

The Animals of Our Farm

Our farm is home to a variety of animals that live in harmony with the rhythms of nature. Among them are rare and traditional breeds that find a protected place here. They tell a story of diversity, care, and a respectful connection with the natural world. Meeting our animals — from cows and sheep to hens, geese, rabbits, alpacas, and ponies — creates special moments of connection for children and adults alike. Through observing, feeding, and caring for them, a gentle understanding of nature and the responsibility we share for all living beings grows naturally.

Growing Together with Horses

Riding opens a world of connection, trust, and mindful encounters. It is not only about learning to ride, but about understanding, listening, and building a quiet bond with these gentle animals. Our Haflinger horses and ponies accompany children with patience and kindness, allowing every moment together to unfold naturally. Through caring for the horses, preparing them, and spending time together, children develop confidence, awareness, and respect for the living world. Surrounded by nature, our riding spaces create a place where humans and animals meet in harmony.

Highlights:
- Riding lessons for beginners and experienced riders
- Educational riding experiences that strengthen the connection between human and horse
- Grooming, caring for, and preparing the horses together

Seasonal Farm Experiences

Summer – Alpine Hut Lunch:
Once a week during the height of summer, families are invited to experience the UNESCO Dolomites from our own Kalkofen mountain hut. Together with Farmer Hans, children travel by tractor to the alpine pasture, where playful games, a freshly prepared regional lunch, and traditional music create joyful moments in nature. The day can be gently extended with a hike through the Dolomites or an e-bike tour.

Autumn – Farm Day:
Each week, our Farm Day brings South Tyrolean traditions to life for the whole family. A guided walk through the gardens, tasting the season’s harvest, meeting our alpacas, traditional music, roasting chestnuts over the fire, and freshly prepared Kaiserschmarrn invite families to experience the simple beauty of farm life together.
