EGGBERGE
ALPINE AGRICULTURE

Frank and his family run an organic farm on the Eggbergen in the canton of Uri, close to the mountain station. Every year, they take the calves down to the valley by the cable car. When I spend weekends in this lonely and peaceful mountain world, I pick up fresh milk from Frank. 

Surrounded by a chapel, steep slopes and forests, the family earns their living exclusively from alpine farming. Their rural life never fails to impress me. Before I got to know the family, they provided work integration places for addicted and delinquent men. 

I am impressed by the fact that the family not only adheres to sustainable production standards but also places social demands on itself and society.
