Loamgruber - Feldthurns
About 40 years ago, Heinrich Gamper took over the Loamgruber Hof from his father. Until 2019, the small farm lived from dairy cows, grape vines and a chestnut grove.
Now the farm is on the verge of a generational change again. Valentin, Heinrich's nephew, will soon follow in his footsteps. He joins the business with his partner Evelyn.
"Our dream is to manage the farm sustainably so that future generations can continue on healthy soil. So in 2019 we started growing fresh and untreated vegetables for Feldthurns and the surrounding area. At that time, we converted a former meadow from the Loamgruber farm into one into a colorful vegetable garden. There we try to garden according to the principles of permaculture. We plant on narrow beds, which are cultivated using light, inexpensive but still effective manual technology. It is important to us to work without pesticides of any kind. All kinds of different things thrive in our garden Vegetables, some fruit and herbs.
In the near future, we also want to adapt the other areas of the business to our ecological and ethical ideas. The farm should stand on several pillars and diversity should always be preserved."
