Regional products right at the hut: bacon, cheese and bread from the farm next door
Bacon from the smokehouse, cheese from the farm, fresh bread, eggs and barbecue meat from the village butcher: at 10 of our huts and holiday apartments in Tyrol, Salzburg and Carinthia the farm shop is a few steps away, or the hosts bring their farm products to order. That turns self-catering into part of the holiday – local, fresh and straight from the farmer.

Three huts where the region comes to the table
Every day we show you three different places from our selection – from the Bauernladl 100 metres from the hut to the organic farm with its farm shop at the house. Each card tells you what you get there. All huts with regional products are further down in the gallery and in the hut finder.
This close is the farm shop at our huts
Shopping local on holiday means with us: walk a few steps, open the fridge at the farm or pre-order from your host. Six examples from our selection – each hut tells you what comes straight from the farm.
Bauernladl 100 m · around the clockTiroler Hütte, Karwendel
The Bauernladl at the Roanerhof is 100 metres from the hut and open around the clock: bacon, smoked meat, sausages, cheese, eggs and ready-made barbecue packs from the Sprenger family farm. You take what you need and put the money in the cash box – shopping local on the Umlberg is that simple.

Farm-shop fridge 50 mGrafenhäusl, Karwendel Nature Park
50 metres from the Grafenhäusl stands the self-service farm-shop fridge: cheese, barbecue meat, jam and egg liqueur from the farm, plus bacon and bread for the Jause (snack). What lies on the table comes from the immediate surroundings – fresh, honest and without a long journey.
See Grafenhäusl
Wood stove + BauernladlWaldhüttl, Karwendel
Hut without electricity, wood stove and candlelight – and 100 metres on the Bauernladl with eggs, cheese, bacon and sausages. Cooking with what the farm next door produces is part of hut life here: in the evening the farm sausage sizzles on the wood stove.

Farm products to orderAlpenrehblick, Vomp
You order sausages, bacon, cheese, eggs and barbecue meat from the Roanerhof before you arrive, and Daniel brings them to the hut. Then the meat from his own farm lands on the covered barbecue spot above Schwaz – regional products that deserve the name.

From the mountain farm · to orderPietschacher Almhütte, Carinthia

Typical Tyrolean products and what you get around the hut
Regional food and products from Tyrol, Salzburg and Carinthia: this is what the farms around our huts produce – regionality you can taste, high quality and straight from the farm.
Bacon, smoked meat and sausages
Tyrolean bacon from the farm smokehouse, Kaminwurzen, house sausages and barbecue meat from the farm's own cattle – in the Bauernladl at the Roanerhof, at the village butcher or to order from the mountain farm. The speciality of the region, high quality and carefully made.
Cheese, butter and whole milk
Mountain cheese and Graukäse, butter, yoghurt and fresh whole milk – dairy products from the farm next door or from the dairy in the valley. Organic at the Riedhof, from the mountain farm on the Hochrindl, from the farm-shop fridge on the Umlberg.
Bread, eggs, honey and jam
Farmhouse bread from the wood-fired oven, eggs from free-range hens, honey from the beekeeper, berry jam and egg liqueur – much of it waits in the self-service farm shop, honest and with an honesty box.
Fruit and vegetables of the season
Fresh fruit and vegetables, herbs, flour and pasta are at the farmers' markets in Schwaz, Hall, Feldkirchen or Fügen – locally produced, seasonal and with a chat at the stall thrown in.

All shopping places in the guideRecipes and ideas for the hut kitchen
Barbecue in every season. In spring with herbs, in summer long evenings outside, in autumn with pumpkin and mushrooms, in winter after sledding: a regional barbecue pack with meat, sausages, grilling cheese, bread and vegetables is easier and better than a boot packed full from home. Pre-order, pick up, enjoy together.
Daniel knows both sides. As host and direct marketer at the Roanerhof he knows which products guests love, how much barbecue meat a group really needs and why a cool bag almost always makes sense. His practical tips are in the guide.

Shopping local with the family, with friends or as a couple
Fetching eggs becomes an outing
At the Riedhof and the Roanerhof children see where milk, eggs and cheese come from – and carry the shopping to the hut themselves. Self-catering that is fun, with farm, animals and breakfast from the farm.

Alpenrehblick, Grafenhäusl and Pietschacher Almhütte: pre-order barbecue meat, sausages and cheese, lay it out on the big table and stay seated for a long time – the region delivers, you cook together.

Tyrolean cuisine at the hut: Speck, mountain cheese and other regional delicacies
Speck, grey cheese and Almkäse
Tyrol offers a rich variety of regional products with a real flavour: Tyrolean Speck from the smoke house, Tiroler Almkäse and Tyrolean mountain cheese from the alpine dairies, the hearty Tyrolean grey cheese, butter and yoghurt from the farm next door. Many regional delicacies come from family-run farms and small farm shops a few minutes from the hut – local products with the terroir of the mountain meadows.
Knödel, Gröstl and apple strudel
Tyrolean cuisine is simple and savoury: Kaspressknödel – cheese dumplings – in broth, Tiroler Gröstl from the pan, Tyrolean dumplings with sauerkraut, apple strudel from the bakery in the valley. The traditional inns cook these hearty dishes, and with the ingredients from the farm shop you cook them yourself in the hut kitchen. A Tiroler Marend – the afternoon snack board with Speck, cheese and bread – is the easiest way to start.
Schnaps and fine brandies
Distilling is craftsmanship in Tyrol: the small distillery on the farm turns apples, pears and rowan berries into fine brandies, the Zirbenschnaps from stone pine cones is the classic after dinner. High-quality quality products that you find at the farm shop, the weekly market in Schwaz or directly from the host – ask, and the family tells you which schnaps is their own.
Find the best products near your hut
From the Silberregion Karwendel to the Zillertal, from East Tirol to the Salzburg mountains: for every hut we list where the nearest farm shop, bakery and market are and which specialities the hosts cultivate and harvest themselves. Good food is part of a hut holiday – and the culinary delight starts with the first Marend on the bench outside the door.
