Farm Visit

Description

What do cows do in winter and where are they in summer? What work needs to be done on the farm? Four farming families from Appenzell will inform you at the heart of the action. In their farms located in scenic areas, you can take a peek into the barn on Wednesdays or Saturdays, watch the feeding, and both young and old learn interesting things about cows, bulls, calves, sheep, goats, milk, and machines. Get an overview of the many activities and challenges of Appenzell agriculture. Suitable footwear is recommended. At Vorderhalten, with Hansruedi and Luzia Rohner, a holistic approach is taken, and with fruit trees, vegetable crops, chickens, dairy cows, and pigs, the farm can almost be self-sufficient. Hansruedi's knowledge of relationships, cycles, and rare, sometimes endangered, animal breeds that have made their home in Vorderhalten is particularly fascinating. To get to the farm, it is recommended to hike, drive, or be transported by PubliCar. We will be happy to assist you with the reservation. > All dates > Hiking proposal starting from Appenzell > Hiking proposal starting from Weissbad Registration: until the day of the hike, 12:00 PM, by phone or email to Tourist Info Appenzell, Hauptgasse 38, 9050 Appenzell.
