When mountain farmer Nikolaus Lantschner began marketing his free-range eggs in the 1990s, it was no easy task. Initially, it was a matter of convincing people of this new concept of farming and the higher price associated with it. But the Eggerhof farmer's belief in species-appropriate animal husbandry and uncompromising quality soon paid off.
Today, the Eggerhof with its free-range chickens at 1,200 metres on the sunny Reggelberg is an indispensable supplier of free-range eggs with the South Tyrolean quality label. ‘The flavour and quality are of course something completely different. This convinced many people and soon led to an increase in demand,’ says Nikolaus Lantschner.
