TASTE LOCAL · founding member

Katja is one of the founding members of TASTE LOCAL, a pilot project promoting regional cycles in the Val d’Ega/Eggental valley. That means: the distance between the farm and the kitchen is so short that Katja, Christof, and Konstantin know their suppliers by their first names. Sometimes even the chickens.

Friedrich partner stories

1/4

Bacherhof

Welschnofen

“In our collaboration, the term ‘supply chain’ doesn’t exist. Why? Because there is no supply chain. The farmer brings the eggs over to Friedrich himself and is greeted warmly every time. What I really like about Friedrich is that Christof comes to me with questions that start with ‘A guest asked me …’ Or he asks how the chickens are. I’m convinced you can really taste that appreciation.”

“I’ve been working in partnership with Katja and Christof since 2012, a partnership based on shared values: regionality and the aim of reconnecting people with their true selves. What unites us is a passion for exceptional materials, which is just as evident at Friedrich as it is in my work.”

Being awarded the label is official recognition of the philosophy we’ve been putting into practice for years.
