Buy in the farm shop

Purchase produce directly from the farmers

The way to someone’s heart is through their stomach – and the same is true for holiday destinations.

Are you after food and treats that taste just great and are made with love and attention by family farmers? Then you’ve come to the right place. We’ve put together a list of recommended shops where you can buy produce directly from the farm. These shops offer specialities crafted on a small scale, which you can enjoy while you are on holiday or take back home as a souvenir.

The selected companies are either certified organic farms or members of the “Vom Ländle Bur” association of Vorarlberg farms that sell their produce directly. The companies in this association adhere to the “Gutes vom Bauernhof” (“produce from farms”) quality guideline and have their compliance checked by an independent auditing body. All of the farm shops have set opening hours and, in addition to their own fresh produce, offer products and specialities with long best-before dates that also make great souvenirs. You can find details of the range and opening hours of the farm shops on the websites provided.

Please contact the company directly for the actual opening hours.
