Stories from South Tyrol | Farmhouse cooking - Pretzhof Restaurant serves up all its own produce

Pretzhof Restaurant serves up all its own produce. #storiesfromsouthtyrol “We don't do anything other than what farmers have always done,” says Karl Mair. For 30 years he worked Pretzhof Farm in South Tyrol’s Alta Valle Isarco/Wipptal Valley, together with his wife Ulli. They live on what the farm yielded forth. At Pretzhof Farm the cheese, jam and Speck ham are homemade. All of the meat comes from their own production; the vegetables are grown in the garden that Karl's father maintains. When it's not enough, they buy from neighboring farmers. In the summer, students bring mushrooms and berries from the forest. The farm tavern that the family operates thus serves only products that are sourced in the immediate area and that are grown in the present season. The farm's electricity is also generated by its own small waterworks. At Pretzhof Farm the butcher comes to the livestock, not vice versa. “Most of our animals never see a truck in their lives,” says Karl Mair. As much of the meat is used as possible. “Ulli cooks something from everything,” the farmer says appreciatively. And Ulli Mair adds: “It's no fun to cook only fillets.” What Ulli and Karl Mair find really fun is to see how well one can survive on a farm today. “We've set our minds to doing that,” they both say. “But I don't rule out that we can think of something new,” Ulli says mischievously.
