Mostheuriger Hansbauer

The Mostheurige Hansbauer run by the Hiebl family is in Krottendorf near Stadt Haag in the Mostviertel, between Steyr and Amstetten. Four generations currently work on the Vierkanthof, a four-sided farmstead that has been in the family since 1730. Since 2017 the farm has been run according to Austrian organic guidelines.

From poultry farm to Mostheuriger

The farm used to be called Hahnbauer, named after its house name as is usual in the Mostviertel, and over the years this became Hansbauer. In 1999 the family converted the cider cellar and replaced the wooden barrels with stainless steel. In the year 2000 part of the farm building and the stable was converted into a Heuriger with a cider cellar, which opened in November 2000.

What is served at the Heuriger

• From the farm itself: pork from the region is processed directly on the farm into Speck, smoked meat, Surbraten, roast pork, meat dumplings and house-made brawn.
• From the bakehouse: farmhouse bread and pastries made from Mostviertel grain.
• Without meat: dishes of their own depending on the season.

Most, schnapps and juice

• Most: several varieties every year from the farm's own fruit trees, such as Speckbirne, Dorschbirne, Grüne Pichlbirne, Jonagold or Braeburn.
• Distillery: pear brandies, apricot, raspberry, naked oats, plus whiskey and gin.
• Organic juices: apple, pear, apple-blackcurrant and apple-carrot, as well as cider.
• Farm shop and online shop: the farm's own products and those of partner businesses from the region.

Young trees are planted in the organic meadow orchards every year; according to the family, the oldest are more than 200 years old. The fields also grow naked oats, buckwheat, rye and old grain varieties, which are turned into flour, whiskey and fine brandies.
