Who we are
About the farm
We run the Gerstreithof in Großarl (Salzburg), at 1,070 m, as a full-time farm in its seventh generation, keeping 55 cattle, 60 sheep, free-range hens and a few pigs in summer. In summer the animals graze on our alp at 1,575 m, where the milk is made into cheese and butter; in autumn they are slaughtered on the farm without transport, and Josef, a trained butcher, makes meat and sausage products. We sell directly from the farm by prior phone appointment, and we also offer holiday accommodation in our Landhaus Almleben and on the alp.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
