Wiartshof
Our Wiartshof is a suckler cow farm where we cultivate 4 hectares of meadows, which are mowed twice in the summer month. In winter it's a bit quieter on the farm. The animals are in the barn and we are always eagerly waiting for offspring. In the spring the preparations for the summer slowly start again.
Pustertaler Sprinzen
The Pustertaler Sprinzen are an old, endangered breed of livestock.
The cows and calves are allowed to spend the summer on the mountain pasture before the holiday ends in autumn and they come back to the stable.
Mangalica pigs (woolly pics)
In June 2017, 3 Mangalica pigs (woolly pigs) moved to the Wiartshof, which is also an endangered livestock breed.
After we had more than 20 pigs in the meantime, we reduced the stock again and keep between 3 and 5 animals permanently.
Westfälische Totleger (Chickens)
Our chickens are an old breed of country chickens, the Westfälische Totleger. Not only because of the coloring of the plumage, the chickens go well with our breed of cattle and thus with us at the Wiartshof. Like our cattle and pig breeds, the Westfälische Totleger was a livestock breed threatened with extinction, but the breed is no longer in acute danger of extinction.
Our garden
When all the animals have been taken care of, there is time in the summer for the garden, which is cultivated with passion. In addition to flowers, we plant a constantly changing selection of different vegetables. And honestly, what could be better than harvesting fresh vegetables from the garden and eating them?! In addition, a small selection of garden and medicinal herbs grows in the garden, which we dry and enjoy in the winter as a tea and use it for seasoning when cooking.
In addition to all the work, of course, we always find time for a friendly greeting or a chat with our guests and are happy to give you an insight into our everyday life on the farm.
