Certificates and quality labels
Since we only want to offer our guests the best, our farm is committed to high-quality organic farming and the preservation of tradition. That is why our work has repeatedly been awarded many certificates and quality labels.
Organic label
Organic farming is a form of agriculture in which there is an integrated approach combining plant cultivation and keeping animals using natural cultivation methods and the circulation of substances in nature.
In the production of high-quality and safe food, organic farming means the sustainable management of natural resources and the implementation of the principles of good animal welfare.
ORGANIC + LOCAL = PERFECT

Slow Food 2014
Slow Food is a global organisation founded in 1989 to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions amid the emergence of fast-paced life, as well as to fight people’s declining interest in the food we eat and its origin, and to raise awareness of how our food choices affect the world around us.
Slow Food believes that food is linked to many other aspects of life, including culture, politics, agriculture, and the environment. Together, through our food choices, we can influence how it is grown, produced and distributed, and thus change the world.
