Elisabeth took over the family farm in 2015 and has been running it full-time with great dedication since 2019. The farm has 9 hectares of grassland, some forest and a 16-strong herd of cattle. The animals are put out to pasture from mid-May and spend the summer on the low and high mountain pastures, which are looked after by the farmers themselves.
The fresh milk is processed daily into yoghurt, fresh and semi-hard cheese in the farm’s own cheese dairy. At present, all cow’s milk specialities are still 100% marketed via the farm shop, but the products will soon also be available in the surrounding shops.
What influence does agriculture in the Salzkammergut have on the landscape and tourism? What is the effect of the landscape conservation fund in Gößl? What impact do the EU organic guidelines have on a small-scale farm like the Buttererhof? We can find out about these and other questions on 8 June.
