The best time of the year can be enjoyed with a clear conscience on a farm in South Tyrol. With a sustainable holiday on the farm there is a whole range of environmental benefits. As a result, guests leave a small ecological footprint and contribute to maintaining the environment intact. The organic farms, in particular, pay attention to treating nature with respect.

Natural materials and energy efficiency

Many farms in South Tyrol are surrounded by dense mixed and coniferous forests. As a result, a valuable raw material is right on the doorstep. On some farms, the wood from their own forests is used to equip the accommodation with high-quality furnishings. Many a farmer fetches the wood himself from the forest and makes the furniture himself. The rooms and holiday apartments are particularly comfortable and cosy thanks to the use of natural materials. In addition to the untreated solid wood furniture, guests can expect bathrooms made of natural stone and textiles made of cotton, linen or loden. Particularly in the case of new buildings or renovated farms, the hosts place increasing value on environmental protection, sustainability and energy efficiency with optimal insulation, breathable walls and biological surfaces. Many farms also rely on green solutions when it comes to generating energy. Wood chip systems and a solar power system ensure warm water and a comfortable room temperature. Through the use of photovoltaics, the energy of the sun is used to produce electricity. Many farms in South Tyrol are also supplied with crystal-clear drinking water from their own spring. All of these measures save valuable resources and burden nature with fewer pollutants.

Short distances

Exquisite food has always been produced on South Tyrolean farms. The animal and vegetable raw materials grow and thrive in harmony with nature. These are processed directly on the farm into natural products. That is pure sustainability. From fresh eggs to homemade fruit spreads to 'Speck' and cheese - everything ends up directly on your plate. Not only the products benefit from short distances, but also the guests on the farm. Many excursion destinations are in the immediate vicinity and can easily be reached without a car. In addition, the farm is a perfect starting point for many environmentally friendly and natural leisure activities - a true paradise for sports enthusiasts. On request, guests arriving by public transport can be picked up by the farm family.

Above all, the farms with organic farming ensure that the animals are kept in a species-appropriate way and that the crop cultivation is balanced. Completely in accordance with ecological principles, this creates closed cycles. On the organic farm, soil and water are protected in order to pass on the natural resources to future generations. So nothing stands in the way of a sustainable holiday on a farm in South Tyrol.
