Berghofer Farmery

Kalsdorf bei Graz

In the Farmery in Kalsdorf, Josef Berghofer has been producing "Styrian Delicacy Snacking Seeds" for over 30 years and also sells directly from the farm at Berghofer's shop next to the Farmery. The pumpkin seeds are refined into snacking specialties in numerous flavors.

Motto: Roasted tastes better

At the Berghofer Farmery in Kalsdorf, everything revolves around the Styrian pumpkin seed. Josef Berghofer and his team refine it into 23 different snack varieties – from salty and spicy to fruity and chocolatey. Raspberry, chili, coffee, garlic, or salted caramel constantly provide new flavor combinations.

The name "Farmery" combines farm and factory and describes the principle of the operation: agricultural origin and processing under one roof. The pumpkin seeds are cleaned, carefully sorted, and then roasted. Only then do they develop their typical crunch and nutty aroma. Spicy varieties are seasoned, while sweet seeds are layered with chocolate.

The story goes back to the 18th century. At the farm known as Madl, oil pumpkins have been cultivated for generations. Josef Berghofer began in the late 1990s to further process pumpkin seeds beyond classic pumpkin seed oil.

Today, pumpkin seed pesto, liqueur, and bricks covered in dark chocolate also belong to the range. In the farm shop, the products can be tasted and purchased directly. Guided tours through the walkable production area also allow visitors to observe how the Styrian pumpkin seed becomes a crunchy delight.

Special:
The pumpkin seed is the main star here. We dedicate ourselves to it with great love for the product and a high degree of experimentation. We know where our raw materials come from and pay close attention during processing. Smaller batches and unusual requests can also be commissioned from us.
