Our organic farm in the Salzburg region
We will introduce our holiday farm Schwabhof in
Kleinarl in detail:
We, Conny and Rupert with our children Hannes, David, Josef and Martina, work our organic farm in Salzburg together with Rupert's parents Barbara and Hans.
We appreciate and enjoy working in wonderful nature, feeling the intense power of the mountains and the confidence of our animals.
Our organic farm in Kleinarl is both, home and workplace at the same time. A piece of ideal world, we like to share with our guests from around the world.
The Schwabhof – our farm in Kleinarl!
The Schwabhof in Kleinarl is located at 1,035 metres above sea level and is 50 hectares (about 70 football fields) large. The pastures and meadows where our farm is nestled provides food for our animals.
Our approximately 17 dairy cows with names like Flower, Zirm or Star give the best milk, from which we partly produce yogurt, cottage cheese and cream cheese. Because cows have a baby every year, we have about 25 calves and heifers in the stable or in the pasture. Besides cows and calves, our organic farm in Salzburg is populated by:
- Cats
- Rabbits
- Horse Lisl, ponies and donkeys
- Goats
- ChickenPigs
The woods behind our farm offer plenty of firewood for long and cold winters, delicious berries and mushrooms and of course fresh water from our own well. A large farm garden with all kinds of vegetables and herbs, as well as our fruit trees,supply us with healthy and tasty fruits and vegetables.
History tour:
- 13th century: the farm was first mentioned, "Cunrad de Swab" (presumably an immigrant from Swabia) as managers
- through the centuries the farm is sold several times
- 1918: Josef Viehhauser (Rupert's great-grandfather), a farmer's son from the neighbouring Großarltal valley, buys the Schwabhof with his family.
- 1950: Rupert's grandmother Maria begins with the rental of rooms in the 500-year old farmhouse for summer visitors.
- 1962–2005: Hans and Barbara Viehhauser build a new barn and a new farmhouse. Later the additional cottage and the holiday home Löwenzahn are added. After four girls son Rupert is born who has been in charge of the Schwabhof since 2005.
- 2005 to present: Connie and Rupert cultivate the organic farm in the Salzburg region together with Hans and Barbara. The both Zirbenchalets extend the offer. Hannes, David, Josef and Martina complete the Schwabhof team.
- We are very curious what the future will bring!
