Philosophy and Tradition

Our family business is set in the midst of the South Tyrolean Alps at an altitude of 850 m. Our name stands for tradition; we have produced essential oils and herb products for four generations. Our raw material derives from high alpine altitudes and is ethically supported by the surveillance of rangers in order to maintain the balance of pasturage. Our customers can trust our traditional knowledge, which allows us to produce pure, high-quality essential oils. The herbs cultivated derive from our own produce, according to organic, certified agriculture. In order to maintain the plants’ energy, which determines the high quality of our products, our customers can trust our handcrafted produce from harvest to filling. Our 110-year-old tradition as well as our produce and harvest according to the moon calendar allow us to do so. We are dedicated to obtaining not just quantity but also high quality-produce. Our concern is to offer our customers 100% pure and high quality essential oils and herb products that contain a high proportion of herb ingredients and agents. Satisfied and regular customers confirm our commitment to develop products that are natural and free of harmful synthetic chemicals.
Attention: The oil distillery is currently closed.

Cheese dairy: various soft fresh and hard cheese from row cow’s milk.

At the Oberbrunnhof in Quadrat, Caroline Abler and Manuel Laimer sell home-made products and substantial delicacies. Both attach great importance to quality and rarity and have dared to take the step towards self-sufficiency for the sake of agriculture. The farm is home to cows (Tyrolean grey cattle), pigs and chickens. The animals are processed and refined by Manuel himself: in addition to fresh meat there is also home-made Speck. The milk is delivered to the "Sennerei Algund" dairy. The Oberbrunnhof's range of products is expanded with the traditional Paarlbrot from the wood-fired oven (every Saturday; on order). Delicious jams, honey and homemade cheese complete the range. Caroline and Manuel provide their guests with healthy, home-made products directly from the farm.

"Griasst enk, we are Caroline & Manuel!"

Caroline Abler grew up on the Niederhof farm and has worked on her parents' farm since she was a child. Her father taught her traditional Tyrolean cuisine and her mother taught her "Kropfn mochen" (making Krapfen - jam doughnuts) according to her grandmother's secret recipe. 
Her path then led her to enter the hotel and restaurant industry for the first time, until she met her future husband Manuel Laimer and moved in with him to Oberbrunnhof. 
Manuel took over his grandmother's farm at the age of 18 and has been cultivating it with great diligence ever since. Gradually, he worked hard to adapt and renovate the farm to the current conditions. For example, the "old" holiday home, which once belonged to the Oberbrunnhof farm, was rebuilt in 2017. Caroline and Manuel have been offering farm holidays since 2018, because they consider it important for them to combine agriculture and tourism.
Together with their three children Leo, Leni and Michl there is always something to do at the Oberbrunnhof. Once a week the tasks are clearly divided: Manuel bakes bread with the help of a family member and Caroline makes and bakes the farmers' doughnuts that are sold. In winter Manuel uses the time to make sausages and in summer Caroline transforms the fruit into delicious spreads and syrups. The products of Oberbrunnhof are produced with great care and love and guarantee freshness, regionality and quality. 

Farm shop in Caminata/Kematen: jam, farmer's sausage, bacon and eggs.

The Power of the milk.
That’s right, we make the best cheese! Thanks to our considerable expertise, knowledge and partners: our good cows.

The fresh mountain air is playing its part; our cheese farm on the Gostner Schwaige is located at 1900 meters above the sea level beneath Mt. Schlern in the Dolomites.  Here are our tasty products crafted from fresh alpine milk:

The Niedereben organic farm is located on the "Nörderberg" at an altitude of 634 meters above Rabland/Rablà.

In our herb gardens - the mountain herb garden in St. Magdalena at 1400 metres above sea level and the show herb garden in St. Valentin - old and new knowledge about the recognition and use of wild aromatic and medicinal herbs is brought back to life. Around 150 different, mainly native plant species thrive in our herb garden. 
In guided tours, the herb specialist teaches interested visitors the identification of wild herbs and their use in cooking and folk medicine. 
Our herbs are only fertilised and treated organically; due to the altitude, the plants develop high-quality secondary ingredients.
The herbs are air-dried on wooden shelves, placed in breathable sacks and only cut, mixed and bottled when needed. The blossoms are collected individually and gently dried so that the magnificent colours are preserved. Everything is handmade!

The farm Niederwieshof produces different homemade juices, jams and fresh fruits from the season. The Niederwieshof offers also guided tours through the farm (only by booking).

The organic winery Stachlburg has been working in an organic and organic way since 1998 and is a member of "Bioland" and the"independent winegrowers of South Tyrol".

The organic wine estate was founded in 1990 by planting Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. A few more varieties were added in the following years. Lagrein Kretzer rosé, Vinschgau Vernatsch, Regent, Vinschgau Pinot Noir, Merlot, Vinschgau Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Terlano Sauvignon, Praesepium (sweet late harvest) and Vinschgau Gewürztraminer are now part of the extensive range. The crowning glory for festive occasions is the sparkling wine: the Eustachius brut sparkling wine.

The goal of the Stachlburg organic wine estate is to produce a healthy, valuable and sustainable agricultural product. Baron Sigmund von Kripp and his family focus on respect for nature, people and traditions, but also sustainable and modern techniques. The naturalness and authenticity of the wines are particularly important to her.

Val Venosta is regarded as the perfect home of the apple - dry, abundant sunshine and yet not too warm and the perfect altitude. In Naturns, over 340 members deliver their harvest to the Texel cooperative, which is responsible for storage, sales and marketing.

Apples delivered directly by the producer can be bought in the in-house retail shop.

"You are what you eat!" We also want to bring this motto closer to our guests and offer various products from our farm for sale: fruit spread, fruit syrup, dried fruit, apple juice, eggs, vinegar, honey, herbal salt, fruit and vegetables depending on the season.

In the heart of Santa Maddalena lies the Waldgries manor in Bolzano. It was mentioned in a document for the first time in 1242, and is therefore one of the oldest estate wineries in and around Bolzano.

Winegrowing has been carried out here for around 700 years. In the sundrenched vineyards that lie directly at Waldgries Manor, the grape varieties of Schiava, Lagrein, and Red Muscat find the best terroir thanks to the Mediterranean climate. Among the total of 7.2 hectares which Christian Plattner tends are also grape growing areas in Ora and Appiano-Monte, in the latter of which are planted Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Blanc. The results are multilayered wines, not least of which is Santa Maddalena which is given particular attention here and which is in fact among the wines of Alto Adige with the richest tradition and the most significant history.

A piece of new old history is written by the Antheos Santa Maddalena classico, a mixed vinestock that had nearly died out which was newly planted here around ten years ago and allows us to experience a voyage into the past in a bottle. On the artistically arranged wine path that leads directly from the parking lot through the estate, visitors can experience everything that is interesting and worth knowing about Waldgries Manor.

“Pröfing” is derived from “grafting” and, in the vernacular, means something like plant refinement. Just as the fruit trees were once refined and furred, today farmer Annemarie lovingly refines the fruits of our farm. In 2014 we decided to farm the Pröfinghof organically. Of course, this also includes biodiversity and so it came about that more and more fruits and vegetables, berries and herbs were planted around our farm. Since 2015 we have also been offering all of these processed treats in the small farm shop!

In our family farm shops we sell: vegetables and fruits of the saison, fruit spread, juices, cyser (apple mead), dried fruit, eggs, and honey from our bees.

Opening times: Telephone enquiry: all-season

We are South Tyrolean drinking water refill point!
The fountain is located in the outdoor area on the farm grounds of the Pröfinghof.
Open 24 hours a day.
