Farm chronicle
From the "Huebgut" to today's Hubergut in Radstadt
Our farm, the Hubergut, previously called the "Huebgut", has existed since the 17th century. "Hueb" was, according to ancient folklore, the name for a larger tenure. Our farm covers an area of a total of 37 hectares, of which 8 hectares are forest and 29 hectares fields and meadows. We're particularly proud of our title "Anscestral Farm", which we were awarded as the farm has been owned by our family for over 200 years.
