The farm
The Grotthof is surrounded by green forests, lush meadows and tranquility above the village of Eggen in the Eggental valley. The Pichler family, who have been running the farm for generations and are happy to immerse you in their world, welcome you here. With us, the clocks tick a little differently: more deliberately, more consciously and more intensively. Here traditional influences meet modern accents, innovative spirit meets history and hard work meets a lot of heart. But see for yourself...
In addition to its 90-hectare spruce forest, which has been the main source of income for generations, the farm is surrounded by unspoilt meadows with rare plants and grasses. Feeding the animals (Galloway cattle, chickens, peacocks, quail) with nutritious grasses and the hay that we bring in, careful cultivation of vegetables and herbs in the garden and a life in harmony and respect of nature: This is how we live the biological idea. Since 2020, the Grotthof has been organically certified.
