Almenland Nickl's Aronia / Aronia Products / Nature Park

The aronia berry is a very ancient fruit that has been rediscovered in recent decades. Thanks to its nutritional components, it has an extremely positive effect on everyone’s health. For several years now, Hermi and Edi Ponsold have dedicated themselves to this miracle berry. In 2014, they planted 8,000 shrubs across two hectares. The farm is located at an elevation of 820 meters above sea level in Hohenau an der Raab, in the heart of the Almenland Nature Park. In addition to aronia berries, herbs also thrive on the farm, and ALMO oxen graze on the pastures.

The Aronia product range is very extensive:
Aronia pure juice, syrup, tea, fruit spreads, dried berries, chocolate, liqueur, vinegar, and much more!

Aronia Farm Store:
The farm store is open every Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., year-round.
