Sustainability: Green energy, organic farming & social project - South Tyrol

Mindfulness. Appreciation. Respect. Sustainability

... are close to our hearts, towards our ressources as well as in our dealings with people and animals. We want to shape this special place and what it has to offer in a way, that the next generation will also benefit from it. At Arieshof, we're taking new, innovative and sometimes unconventional paths in order to make our contribution to a complete rethinking of the world.

Let us inspire you (sustainably)...

Green energy: From nature, of course

Did you know, that at the arieshof more than 1000 m² of photovoltaic panels supply the electricity for daily operations? And what is not needed immediately, is stored in an innovativ hydrogen storage system to cover peaks and outages. 

When the sun doesn't shine, a wood gasification system supports our energy production. 

The heat comes from a woodchip system, the wood from our forest.

  • Autonomous: Highest possible degree of self-sufficiency in terms of energy supply
  • Grounding: Generation of clean energy, photovoltaic & woodchip system (own wood)
  • Innovation: Hydrogen storage facility from GKN Hydrogen (Hy2Green) at the farm

Organic farming: It’s good to know where it comes from

On our certified organic farm, the protection of biodiversity, the careful treatment of the environment and all of nature’s treasures have top priority. We attach great importance to the cultivation of special varieties as well as products of unique quality.

  • Preservation of soil fertility: We do not use artificial fertilisers; we use our own compost
  • Soil culture: Use of gentle tillage equipment, protection of beneficial insects
  • Feed: Feed from the farm, bedding with straw from the farm

Happy Animals at arieshof: Explore our stables

Large stable areas, daily exercise in the pastures and species-appropriate animal husbandry contribute to the fact that cows (Pustertal Sprinzen in suckler cow husbandry), horses, free-range chickens, cats and various small animals (petting zoo) feel right at home with us.

  • Discover: Stable tours, experience day “A day as a farmer”
  • Watch: Chickens laying eggs, feeding rabbits
  • Love: Stroke cats, get to know the petting zoo

Real life
is an encounter.

- Martin Buber

Social project: Humanity matters

Sustainability means: living and developing without exhausting the natural resources of the future. These resources include not only the environment, but also people. In a professional setting, people like you and us get the chance for equality, exchange, support and access to environmental education. Arieshof becomes a living environment and a place where individual growth is possible at any time.

Our wish for the future?

It should become a matter of course that everyone learns to accept others as they are, but at the same time helping them in their personal development and not leaving them behind. Whether guests with children, employees or socially disadvantaged employees from our work integration project.

Shh! There is still something to discover here!
