At the centre of it all is a pioneer of sustainable agriculture and herb processing: Thekla Raffezeder. At [**Hof Theklasien**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDgfTqeb2Ro) in Haibach ob der Donau, the connection between people and nature has been a daily reality for almost four decades. The vision of sustainable agriculture, which above all promotes ecological responsibility and creates a shared awareness, is what drives Thekla forward every day. Her story, characterised by passion, commitment and a deep respect for nature. Thekla is a farmer and a visionary - for her, her farm is not just a workplace, but a retreat characterised by harmony and respect. From the very beginning, her aim was to combine ecological, economic and social aspects in her work. Thekla's farm is a place of self-sufficiency and at the same time an oasis for flora and fauna: every animal, every plant and every activity has its place and its time. Thekla realised early on that she wanted to live in the countryside in order to produce healthy food for her family. Over time, the farm developed into a centre for herbal processing through cooperation, exchange circles and alternative projects. Theklasien produces teas - such as her specially created "Naturwundatee" based on the natural wonder Donauschlinge Schlögen - culinary herbs and even cosmetic products. Using herbs from their own cultivation as well as hand-picked wild plants and fruits, they create high-quality products such as aromatic tea blends, fruit spreads, balms and natural creams. Each product is handmade with great attention to detail. The products embody Thekla's deep connection to nature and her knowledge of traditional and sustainable processing methods. Thekla Raffezeder runs her organic mountain farm according to the principles of permaculture. Fruit trees, herbs and wild plants thrive on eight hectares - accompanied by a few sheep and chickens. The Schlögener Schlinge, one of the most beautiful places in Upper Austria, reflects the naturalness of the region - and Theklasien's contribution to this is its inspiring story, which stands for sustainable agriculture and herb processing. Theklasien helps to preserve and promote the natural beauty and cultural significance of the area. Visitors can experience the principles of permaculture at first hand: Thekla offers guided tours, workshops and courses - either in her large kitchen or outdoors on the estate - where she shares her knowledge of biodiversity and organic farming. If you are already in the area of [**Stauf castle ruins**](https://www.donauregion.at/oesterreich-tour/detail/430008104/zur-burgruine-stauf.html), a detour to Thekla's farm is definitely worthwhile!
