My story
The family-run Angerhof farm is situated in the quiet village of Morter at the entrance of Val Martello and was founded by Erwin and Andrea who decided to put together their inherited orchards to establish a new organic farm. Today, they constitute a very good and versatile team.
Andrea drives the tractor, helps at the farm and cares about the house and the guests’ apartments. Erwin works both as an organic farmer and as a teacher at a vocational college. He got a teacher’s diploma in machine engineering and is specially trained to work with disabled people.
Furthermore, he was the first in Val Venosta to produce organic wines. Erwin and Andrea have been convinced organic farmers since 1996. They do not only see organic as a general principle but think that organic further develops your own personality because environmental protection and socioculture are positive values for a future worth living.
