Working from Obenaus

Organic agriculture

Since 2015, Obenaus is a certified bio farm. We keep a flock of sheep, have planted +20 fruit trees and harvest the apples from a couple of old trees around the main ground. We make hay for the sheep from our various meadows. The farmer’s garden is designed according to bio-dynamic and permaculture principles and offers a variety of vegetables. In the coming years we plan to increase the female sheep flock to 40 and market sheep cheese.

Local employment

Many employment possibilities exist around Ehrenhausen. The second largest city in Austria, Graz, is well connected by a direct train route and offers all possible jobs and professional local possibilities.

Sole traders, consultants, teachers and coaches

Digital nomads can find their home in Obenaus. We have a small co-working office space for computer work and online calls and meetings.

We have the Austrian and a larger German-language distribution licence of Tierra Verde.
