At Berghofer Farmery in Kalsdorf Josef Berghofer has been producing typical Styrian pumpkin seeds for over 30 years. He also sells directly in Berghofer's shop next to the Farmery.

The farm vulgo Madl in Kalsdorf has existed since the 18th century. Generations of Berghofers grew oil pumpkins in the south of Graz. In the past, pumpkins were primarily used to make the original Styrian pumpkin seed oil, but at the end of the nineties Josef Berghofer dedicated himself to refining pumpkin seeds. Today he is one of the few who runs a farm - a combination of farm and factory. In this farm, which is currently being expanded to three times its original size, Josef Berghofer produces "Styrian gourmet nibbles" in many varieties. The special feature is that the gourmet nibbles are roasted before coating, because roasted tastes better.

Berghofer not only produces the "Styrian gourmet kernels", but also sells them directly from the farm in Berghofer's shop directly on the farm. Since May 2020, anyone who wants to see for themselves has the opportunity to watch the creation of the gourmet nibbles live in the walk-in production area. Guided by specialists from the farm, visitors will gain an in-depth insight and interesting background knowledge about the refinement of Styrian pumpkin seeds.
