Private poultry farms
The poultry for our Wiesn chicken comes exclusively from private poultry farms.
In order to achieve their label of the German Animal Welfare Association “For more animal welfare”, numerous criteria must be met.
- more time to grow up: robust, slow-growing chicken breed
- more space due to less stocking: spacious open houses with winter gardens and natural day and night rhythm
- varied environment: straw bales, pecking stones, perches and retreats
- no genetically modified feed, high standards for animal transport, strict controls according to the guidelines of the German Animal Welfare Association.
Ox from the Karlshof Municipal Manor
For many decades, the ox meat has been sourced from the Karlshof Municipal Manor, only about 25 kilometers from the Theresienwiese – from species-appropriate animal husbandry in airy loose housing interspersed with straw.
Straw pig
The pork we use for (fried) sausage, schnitzel, meat loaf and all other meat dishes with pork in our kitchen comes exclusively from straw pigs from regional farms.
