Great country Carinthia: The best eggs for your breakfast!

Great country Carinthia: The best eggs for your breakfast!

The World Egg Day, which is always celebrated on the second Friday in October, focuses on a fascinating food: the egg. In Carinthia, not only the importance of the ice is emphasized as a food, but also the sustainable agriculture, which stands behind the high-quality pleasure land of Carinthia. A lot of value is placed on species -appropriate chicken conservation here, and the lined animals sometimes eat food that is grown regionally, which drives the freshness and quality of the eggs.

The eggs from Carinthia are more than just a list of ingredients - they carry the label of regionality and a commitment to sustainable agriculture. Now we look behind the scenes, some producers in the region who live in their companies the philosophy of high quality and regionality.

The "Wieseni" operation in Landskron

An example is Martin Gfrerer's “Wieseni” operation, which is located at the foot of the Landskron Castle. Here, chickens have been kept in free range for 20 years - around 4,800 animals have plenty of space on meadows where they can pick for worms and sunbathe in the sun. Gfrefer's farm shop offers customers other regional products in addition to eggs.

organic farm "Leitnerhof" in Rangersdorf

We continue to Rangersdorf, where the Kühr family leads the organic farm "Leitnerhof". With 1,200 laying hens and an important grassland and forest area, the family itself produces eggs and egg noodles. A vending machine ensures egg sale while the pasta production is on a basis of trust. The eggs are particularly in demand, especially in summer when tourism is booming.

The freewheeling of the chickens on the "Leitnerhof" is particularly noteworthy. These live in different herds and age groups, so that around 1,000 fresh eggs are produced every day.

Innovative project: "Wöllaner Nockeier" in Arriach

Another exciting example is the operation “Wöllaner Nockeier” in Arriach, where Gerald Marinz and his uncle operates egg production. Through self -made mobile chicken stables, it ensures that the animals always have fresh grass available. Marketing takes place via self -service boxes in several cities and in the area of the area. With this, Marinz and his team bring a piece of home to the plates of consumers.

The chickens of the "Wöllaner Nockeier" live just as well in the field and benefit from the naturalness of their attitude. These individual operating models are representative of the high priority of regionality and sustainability in Carinthia.

Egg production in Carinthia is not only a business, but also a attitude to life that is expressed by the love of nature and responsibility towards animals and the environment. Visit the different courtyards and convince yourself of the fresh, high -quality eggs from your region.
