Honey from Gabriel Aster
Honey has been known in various cultures for thousands of years. From the earliest times, honey and bee products were used and exploited in many different ways: Wax, pollen, propolis, bee venom and royal jelly. Just like honey, they have a unique composition and correspondingly different spectrums of action. Gabriel Aster has been an enthusiastic beekeeper for years and carefully produces different types of honey as well as honey products.

Pasture-raised meat from the Gatscherhof
Every year, the grazing cattle of the Gatscherhof can feast on spicy herbs and fresh mountain grasses for an entire summer in the alpine pastures. Only then do they return to the spacious loose housing, where they are again fed with natural hay. Neither silage nor grain mixtures are used. The resulting extremely tasty meat of the Angus young cattle from suckler cow husbandry is processed into ready-to-cook packages and sold.
