The Obermalid Hof farm has been in our family since 1630. We have deep roots in our lands and its traditions, and an open outlook towards all that is contemporary. We cultivate and produce a wide variety of foods in our fields, meadows and pastures, supply fresh milk from our cows and free range eggs from our hens to local businesses, and grow cereal crops which we use to produce our own pasta. Every one of us pitches in, and none of us would have it any other way. We are delighted to be your hosts!

Max Malfertheiner

A farmer through and through. Max took over the farm from his father, and loves being with the animals and out in the fields. Working in the woods is his greatest joy, and his homeland and its traditions are dear to his soul. Max is single-minded when it comes to work, and there’s nothing he likes more than good food - particularly the tastes of his own farm produce. He also helps the Schlernhof farm cooperative to make sure that only the very best of eggs make their way to kitchen pantries.

BRIGITTE GATTERER MALFERTHEINER

Farmer, mother, secretary at the farm and so much more. Brigitte loves meeting with the guests from so many different countries. She takes loving care of the hens, and is the “pasta maker” at the farm. When she’s out walking or in her own mountain hut on the Bullaccia is when she relaxes.
