Rechenmacher Georg

BIO Organic Producer - Mühlhaus

“Man and nature have the same roots.”

My story

Castelbello at Val Venosta’s Monte Sole Mountain is the home village of Georg Rechenmacher. The Mühlhaus farm bought by Georg’s grandfather has been in family ownership for three generations.

Georg attended the Fürstenburg agricultural college in South Tyrol and started working as a farmer when he was still at school. In 2010, the Mühlhaus farm converted to organic farming as a result of different courses, further specialized training and visits to apple orchards of other organic farmers.

For him, organic was a natural way to grow apples and to protect the traditional rural environment at the same time. The old horse chestnut tree in the middle of his apple orchard, which grew over time under the protection of nature, is the symbol of Georg’s conception. According to him we have to leave nature as it is. Because our roots are strongly linked to the ones of nature.
