Sustainability
Creating a Slow-Food Awareness for Enjoyment & Regionality
A movement that promotes conscious enjoyment and appreciation of regional and seasonal food is of great importance in a time when the fast-food industry often prevails and the connection to traditional cuisine and local agriculture is lost. Therefore, once a week, baker Krista comes to show guests how bread is baked. Additionally, a wide range of suppliers is available, from Nock meat to white country corn from Gailtal, meadow eggs from Landskron, and fish from Feld am See.
