Farmers with heart and love for animals.

Gustino Strohschwein

Origin: Salzburg Land
Breeds: Straw pigs

Gustino straw pigs grow up on Austrian family farms, eat mainly farm-grown feed, have 60% more space in the barn and a resting area with straw bedding.

The pigs eat mainly GMO-free feed from the farm's own cultivation. Wheat, rape, peas and beans. As a supplement, there is high-quality protein as well as minerals and vitamins.

Thomas Rauscher

Origin: Waldviertel (Rastenfeld in Lower Austria)
Breeds: Limousin, Black Angus and Red Angus

In the beautiful Waldviertel in Lower Austria, Thomas Rauscher breeds very special breeds of cattle. The newly built open barn offers the cattle a lot of space and direct access to the pasture.

Thus, the cattle can move freely and at will and lead a really fine life. Respectful and stress-free handling of the animals is an absolute matter of course for Thomas Rauscher and distinguishes him and the quality of his cattle. In cooperation with master butcher Böck, the meat of the cattle is perfectly processed and refined.

Sebastian Sturm

Origin: Waldviertel (Frankenreith in Lower Austria)
Breeds: Waldviertler Weidehendl

In the idyllic Waldviertel, young farmer Sebastian and his wife Julia breed the popular Fitmeat Weidehendl. This is an ingenious collaboration that arose from a cooperation between Fitmeat and farmer Sebastian. The slow and careful rearing, together with the first-class feeding, are a guarantee for the best meat quality. As a family business, together with their mother-in-law Maria, the three of them lovingly look after their chickens, which spend their entire lives on the farm. And they are allowed to stay there for quite some time.

The Fitmeat chickens live for 8 to 10 weeks instead of 28 to 30 days, as is the case with supermarket chickens. In the mobile chicken coop, also known as the "chicken tractor", Sebastian's pasture-raised chickens get only the best of the best to peck at. A special feed mix that makes the taste of the chicken meat unique. The mobile chicken house is moved every few days so that the chickens always have fresh grass under their claws.

Micha und Elisbeth Hamersky

Origin: Waldviertel (Pöggstall in Lower Austria)
Breeds: Texas-Longhorn and Angus cattle as well as Freilandhendl.

Micha Hamersky and his wife Elisabeth have achieved a real masterpiece. They are among the first Texas Longhorn breeders in Europe. A cattle breed that had almost fallen into oblivion was brought to Austria by them and established with absolute passion and know-how.

For Micha, the cattle became the centre of his life and this is reflected in the exceptional meat quality. As an absolute expert in terms of breeding Texas Longhorn cattle, he knows exactly which animals go together and what really matters when it comes to meat quality.

Toni Eigenherr

Origin: At the Heuberg near Salzburg
Breeds: Highland cattle, fattened ducks, barbary ducks, turkeys, free-range eggs.

Toni Eigenherr's farm is located in beautiful Salzburg on the even more beautiful Heuberg. A remarkably large area is available to his cattle, ducks and chicken - all year round. The cattle can move freely on the gentle slope and do exactly what they feel like doing.

Of course, his chickens, ducks and turkeys also join in. For they, too, enjoy their lives on large areas of natural soil, where they can grow up peacefully in pristine and, above all, species-appropriate surroundings, healthy and content.

What particularly distinguishes Toni Eigenherr is that the stress-free and respectful individual butchering of the animals takes place directly on his farm. This eliminates the need for any animal transports.

Ottensteiner Wild

Origin: Waldviertel (Ottenstein in Lower Austria)
Breeds: First-class venison from the beautiful Waldviertel region

Our venison is truly wild - because it is native to Austria's native forests and thus comes from the wild. They don't need a farmer who carefully tends and cares for them. They are born to be wild!

At Fitmeat, we place great value on premium meat of the highest quality. This also applies to our venison, which is why the range is very limited. The venison is shot exclusively by experienced hunters in Salzburg and Königsbrunn in Lower Austria.

We strictly distance ourselves from creel hunting and other reprehensible methods. Any rushing or driving of the animals not only leads to a high loss of quality, it also does not correspond to our values.

Instead, we take a mindful approach so that the animals do not experience any stress and a high quality of meat can be ensured.
