Herb farmers from the Ulten Valley

The old tradition of collecting herbs or even growing herbs is experiencing enormous growth in South Tyrol. Thanks to the good climatic conditions, more than 120 different medicinal and herbal plants find the ideal environment for their growth. In the Ultimo Valley and in Alta Val di Non alone, five families grow different medicinal and herbal plants according to strict biological guidelines. The high-quality herbs are exclusively harvested by hand. Later on, they are processed into different aromatic teas, salt, healing unguents, and scenting mixes. The processing of numerous organic products can be observed during visits to these farms. Furthermore, the products can be directly purchased at the respective farms
