Few other Austrian states are as diverse as Styria. In the northwest, the high mountains around Schladming and the Dachstein massif; in the east, gentle hills dotted with apple orchards; in the south, vineyards; and in the southeast, the thermal spa region. This diversity is directly reflected in the farms: 36 of the 54 farms are located in the mountains, 27 in the forest, 22 among fields, and 21 in the hilly terrain. Many of these farms occupy multiple locations simultaneously, as the boundaries between these areas are fluid.
For you, this means you can find almost any type of farm holiday here without leaving the state. From alpine farms to forest farms to farms nestled in the heart of orchards.
Cats live on 44 of the 54 farms, chickens on 36, cows on 27, and goats on 23. In addition, there are rabbits, pigs, ducks, horses, and ponies. 23 farms also have a petting zoo ; that's more than four out of ten farms and significantly above average.
Some specialized farms also keep alpacas , bees , and geese .
On 37 farms, children are allowed to help with feeding , on 24 with collecting eggs , on 20 with animal care and on 17 with haymaking .
In addition, there's a Styrian specialty: On eight farms, people help with the harvest . Pumpkins, apples, and wine define the seasons here, and this is most noticeable on the farms in autumn.

Thirty of the 54 Styrian farms have their own herb garden. That's more than half and a significantly higher percentage than usual on the portal. Anyone wanting to know what wild garlic tastes like before it ends up in a jar is in the right place.
And one more thing: 10 of the 106 premium farms on the entire portal are located in Styria. With 54 establishments, that's a remarkable proportion. Styrian hosts clearly take hospitality seriously, and the average rating of 4.8 confirms it.
To give you an idea of what to expect, we've counted all 54 farms on this page:
The farms are spread across the entire state, with a concentration in the mountainous northwest.
Styria is a region of culinary delights, and this is evident on the farms. Pumpkin seed oil from the volcanic region, apple juice from eastern Styria, wine from the south, and cheese from the alpine pastures in the northwest. 30 farms have their own herb garden, 9 have a farm shop, and 6 cultivate fruit.
One Styrian institution you should know about is the Buschenschank . This is a wine tavern that winegrowers and fruit growers run temporarily on their own farms, where only homemade food is served, usually a cold snack with bread, bacon, cheese, and spreads. Ask the hosts which ones are currently open in the area, as this changes seasonally.
Spring through autumn is ideal for families, hikers, and cyclists. Autumn in Styria has a special charm because it coincides with the grape harvest, pumpkin harvest, and apple picking, and on some farms, visitors can even lend a hand. Winter is more prevalent than many realize: 39 farms are open, 26 offering tobogganing and 20 providing cross-country skiing, especially around Schladming and the Dachstein mountain.
This depends on the region, season, and amenities. You can see the price for each farm directly in the search results, and you can also filter by budget and mid-range prices . The most economical option is usually a self-catering holiday apartment, which most Styrian farms offer. For a breakdown and money-saving tips, see "affordable farm holidays" and "how much do farm holidays cost ?"
Dogs are welcome on 20 of the 54 farms, and on another 13 by prior arrangement . That means roughly every other farm welcomes dogs. Accessible accommodations are available on 6 farms. Because the structural conditions vary considerably, it's always advisable to contact the farm directly for specific information.
Swimming facilities are listed for 21 farms, mostly in the surrounding area. A private outdoor pool is the exception, with only 4 farms having their own, and Styria has fewer lakes than Carinthia. However, the region boasts thermal spas in the southeast, including Bad Waltersdorf, Loipersdorf, and Bad Radkersburg, and 7 farms are located directly within this area.
Twenty farms have bus connections , 15 have train connections , and 18 are accessible by bicycle . For the last few kilometers, it's worth asking about train station pick-up. A car is practical for excursions within the country itself, as the distances between the northwest and southeast are considerable.
Above you'll find all the farms with pictures, amenities, and guest reviews. Filter by region, animals, or season and contact the farming family directly; they'll reply personally. If you haven't yet decided on a specific state, you can find the complete selection of farms in Austria under "All Farms in Austria ."
