Together for a Good Life

Established in 2010, the association ‘Bioregion Mühlviertel’ is both a marketing brand and a strong network of local / regional businesses that are committed to the deep and comprehensive establishment of organic food and farming as a sustainable way of life in the region. 

The network includes organic direct marketing companies, restaurants and hotels, schools and both artisan and larger-scale commercial organic food processors.  Together they use their individual qualities and knowledge to help strengthen cooperation and participation and to create valuable interactions, inter-dependencies and cycles in the region’s organic sector with the ultimate goal of ensuring sustainable regional development.

The interest of network partners to work together under a regional quality brand and to cooperate in product development and innovation, as well as marketing and awareness-raising, has steadily increased in recent year. As a result, the network has become increasingly formalised and is now managed as a well-defined organizational structure
