Biohof Sebald

Biohof Sebald is a four-sided farm typical of the Innviertel region. The farm was first mentioned in documents in the early 15th century - back then as a cobbler's estate. Over the centuries, the farm has always been owned by the same family, which is why it was honoured as a hereditary farm.

The farm was one of the first certified organic farms in the region, specialising in dairy farming. Since a tragic accident in August 2014, the partner of the deceased farm owner has been running the Sebald Hof as a tenant farm.
A community of five people has come together on the farm to develop it socially, economically and ecologically.
Thus, the preservation of the farm and a very natural cultivation is a special project close to their hearts.

Three associations were founded to cover the various areas.
