Familie Eberhardt vlg. Scheitz

The Eberhardt family, vulgo Scheitz, runs a farm in the municipality of Gaal at an altitude of 840 meters above sea level. The Scheitz'n farm was first documented in 1434. In 1995, the Eberhardts built their own farm building with a slaughterhouse, slaughter room, cold store and bakery for the direct marketing of their farm produce. Here, their pigs and chickens are slaughtered and processed without stress. The pigs can let off steam in the straw barn from birth before they are slaughtered on the farm. The 300 or so free-range chickens provide eggs, which are processed into baked goods.

 In the farm store in Knittelfeld and directly on the farm in Gaal, the Eberhardt family offers their home-made products, including farmhouse bread, yeast-based dishes, soup strudel and smoked meats.
