Farm Holidays
Regional authenticity, living tradition, and warmth amidst stunning nature
Country holidays
For those whose hearts soar among meadows and fields, cows in the pasture, and curious goats at the fence, there’s nothing better than a farm holiday. Guests might not even need to leave the farm, given the abundance of activities available. You can start the day by helping to herd the cows to the pasture or collecting eggs from the henhouse. Or perhaps a visit to the farm garden, where the farmer personally explains the effects and healing properties of the flowers and herbs? The experiences continue with activities that connect you with nature and the essence of sustainable tourism.
A farm holiday represents authenticity, originality, and warmth, immersing guests in the daily life of a farming family. This makes a stay on the farm a relaxing and exciting experience that lingers in the memory.
Farm holidays - tailored to every wish
Visiting the producers
A farm holiday in Austria is also a celebration of food and drink, right from the source. The finest products are grown on-site: Fruits, vegetables, and herbs ripen in the sun to develop their full flavour. Freshly baked bread, dairy products, fruit juices, and other specialities are prepared on the farm, allowing guests to experience and taste where the ingredients come from and how traditional dishes are made.
The kitchens of the farms are treasure troves of regionality and sustainability – each dish often tells its own story. A farm holiday invites you to become part of a long tradition of enjoyment, while also raising awareness of the importance of responsible agriculture.
Tips for farms in stunning countryside
Climate Protection
Farm holidays are a prime example of sustainable travel, supporting ecology, regionalism, and socio-cultural aspects:
Short transport distances: Regional food and short transport distances reduce CO2 emissions.
Preservation of natural habitats: Farming helps maintain natural habitats, promote biodiversity, and sustain healthy ecosystems.
Resource efficiency: Many farms practice careful management of water, energy, and finite resources, embracing a circular economy: healthy food, healthy plants, healthy soil, and ethical animal husbandry — 365 days a year.
Support for local culture and economy: Farm holidays bolster local culture and economy by keeping traditional lifestyles and crafts alive.
