... and with a vision!
Regionality & sustainable agriculture with fair food prices is what we need. We want to create greater awarenessby connecting our Schau aufs Land travellers with sustainable agriculture and promote their interaction.
How it works:

Feedback & review from our partner companies
What were your motives for signing up for Schau aufs Land?
- "We hardly get into the world from the farm, if at all. So we bring the world to the farm. In this way we have conversations, exchange thoughts with fellow human beings whom we would otherwise never meet! This exchange is so good because we feel that the visitors - Schau aufs Land guests - are really interested in agriculture!!! And their interest, their joy, brings motivation and happiness for the daily work."
- Reinhard, Organic Farm Greiml - "What better way to bring life to a farm than to welcome new campers again and again and perhaps make friends? In addition, our focus is on enjoyment and nature. That is a great combination with this camping concept.
- Michaela and Werner, Alpacas under the lime tree - "To introduce people to my small farm in an uncomplicated way. The uncomplicated possibility of showing that farming can also be sustainable and alternative. To "lure" travellers to an area that has a lot to offer, but which receives less attention in the face of travel hotspots."
- The weather house
What was your experience with the travellers so far?
- "Only good...Lovely people with openness & respect & gratitude. Such guests one wishes for ;-)"
- Markus, Aromareich - "Very good. We have already had many great people here, made new friends and acquaintances. It's always a great atmosphere when we have one or more campers on our farm. The people are all very warm, open-minded. We are always happy to please the travellers with a pitch with us."
- Meissnitzerhof - "Excellent. Lots of nice people who appreciate exactly what we offer!"
- St. Nicholas Organic Farm - "Our visitors were all very nice, interested and also made purchases right away in the farm shop. One couple even helped us with the potato harvest!"
- Gabriele and Reinhard Mendlig - "Again and again, images come to my mind of visitors who are interested in visiting the farm with me, who let me explain to them the development of the egg, from the chicken to the trade, who enthusiastically fetch vegetables from the garden for dinner, and who have nice conversations [...] And when, months later, they ask for a sheepskin from a lamb because their child has "fallen in love" with it, then we believe it is sustainable. Therefore, we say THANK YOU and look forward to the coming year!"
- Reinhard, Organic Farm Greiml - "Very good, totally nice guests, interested in the farm and the processes of production."
- Magdalena & Thomas, Organic Herb Shop Mathiasnhof
Our concept is based on appreciation, do you feel that this works well?
- "Yes! Travellers are very interested in farming and often they chat for a few hours and like to show off their farms too."
- Barbara, Biograbnerhof - "I haven't felt such satisfaction from people in a long time. People's appreciation is certainly there."
- Manfred & Martina, WOLF Inn - "The appreciation is there in any case. Travellers are happy to buy the farm products on offer and always show their appreciation very generously with additional 'donations'."
- Meissnitzerhof - "The homemade products are very well received and appreciated!"
- Florian & Daniela, Loiblhof - "Very good. People are very grateful for our hospitality and often cooperative when the farm is busy. They also show their appreciation by buying our products. We have only had good experiences so far."
- Lampl family, Kräuterhof Lampl
Do you have the feeling that the travellers are interested in sustainable agriculture? Or that you can pass something on to the travellers?
- "Yes, we notice that again and again. So far, everyone who has been here has been very eager to learn about sustainable agriculture. It is very important to live with nature and to show that to the guests.
- - Karl, Arztenbauerhof
- "Yes, I even held a bread baking class verbally!"
- Barbara, Biograbnerhof - "Yes, it does! It's causing a change in many people's thinking."
- Lampl family, Kräuterhof Lampl - "Our guests are very interested in the history of the farm and of course in the future vision of our estate. The alpacas also always arouse the interest of the travellers. Especially with animal husbandry, we convey our sustainable concept, which is well received."
- Michaela and Werner, Alpacas under the lime tree
How much extra work does it take for you to receive travellers?
- "In principle, there is no real additional effort. Since we are always very happy to have new people on our farm, we would see it more as an enrichment to welcome travellers."
- Meissnitzerhof - "Actually no one. We are a big family and someone is always there. We find it totally beautiful and enjoy doing it!"
- Anonymous - "It is of course 'more' - but as hosts we are happy to do it. Since we also offer guest rooms it is even 'easier' with the campers ;-)"
- Markus, Aromareich
