Views, tranquillity, nature

Agriculture

Our organic farm is lcoated in Bärfischenhaus, a small hamlet near Laupen.

Far-reaching views, tranquillity, nature – there are places, where you can see more of the sky than of the land, and where you’re still not «off the planet». The cities of Bern, Fribourg and Murten are nearby.
