Local producers and farm shops in Eggental

Fresh farm products from the Innerplatzer farm at Collepietra. 

At the cheese dairy farm Ebenhof, the South Tyrolean cheese tradition is cultivated with passion. Since 2007, delicious raw milk cheeses have been made from the fresh grass-fed milk of the local Alpine cows. Farmer and cheesemaker Markus relies on natural ingredients and craftsmanship to create unique cheeses such as the mildly flavoured "Sternkasl", the aromatic Mountain Cheese and the versatile Farmer Cheese.

Production takes place directly on the farm - from milking the cows to maturing the cheese in the cellar. Sustainability and animal welfare play a central role here. 

You can buy the eight different types of cheese at the farmers' markets in Steinegg|Collepietra, Welschnofen|Nova Levante and Bozen|Bolzano. Farm-gate sales are only possible by prior appointment by telephone.

Agricultural beer - also available in the enoteca Obkircher in Deutschnofen/Nova Ponente

1,700 chickens live on the Badstuberhof farm in Deutschnofen /Nova Ponente - together with Luis and Astrid, who make sure that the animals want for nothing. While they spend the nights well protected in the henhouse, during the day they run around freely on the farm and the surrounding meadows. This produces nutritious eggs from happy chickens.
