The Oggenfuss Family
Our urban organic farm is located at the outskirts of Zurich, right at the foot of Üetliberg, surrounded by woods and meadows, grazing horses and cackling chickens and it offers a view on the mountains and the lake. Here the city is close and yet so far away – a place to relax body and soul.
For more than 30 years our own as well as our pension horses have been an integral part in the everyday life of our family and our three grown-up children.
As the farm managers we are responsible for the wellbeing of the horses – and we can always count on our children for support when we want to take a break. We owe our success to the calm, familiar and animal-orientated atmosphere on the farm. In return, the horses reward us by being physically and mentally healthy and also with their long time presence.
As a certified farmer it is important to me to provide healthy and varied lunches. We preferably use vegetables and fruit from our own production, which we supplement with seasonal organic produce from regional suppliers.
Thus, we would like to welcome our guests and introduce them to the life on a farm.
