Hofladen Thürig

The Hundgellen business has been owned by the Thürig family for generations. In the 1990s, Domink and Rosmarie Thürig-Hegglin started selling their cherries on a table on the street directly from the farm. The table kept getting bigger and the range expanded with plums and other products.

In 2001 Dominik Thürig jun. took over the business from his parents on lease. During this time, a covered stall was set up on the street. At the same time, the sales range was expanded to include baked goods, jams, milk and vegetables.

In 2002 a 70 are orchard with cherries, plums and pome fruit was planted. This was covered with a hail net in order to always achieve impeccable quality.

In 2004 a 10 ares large raspberry crop was planted.

In 2005 there was a major change on the farm. The farm was managed by Domink Thürig jun. purchased. Dairy cattle farming was given up and the stable for 80 sows was rebuilt.

In 2006, the cultivation of berries was expanded to one hectare with strawberries, blueberries, currants, cassis, gooseberries, elderberries and blackberries, with strawberries and raspberries accounting for the largest share.
