Veterinary practice & Tonner apiary
Behind tonner.it are two people, two crafts and a shared home in Taisten, on the sunny terrace above the Puster Valley.
Urban is a vet for small animals and livestock. His territory reaches from the practice on Simon-von-Taisten-Straße to the barns of the mountain farms in the Puster and Casies valleys – where farming still lives on family holdings with small herds. He sees small animals by appointment at the practice and comes to the barn for livestock.
Irmgard is a beekeeper at heart and the first point of contact for everything to do with our honey. From the hive through extracting and creaming to the finished jar, it all stays in one pair of hands – whoever buys honey from us receives it from the beekeeper in person.
Together we look after our bee colonies on the flower meadows around Taisten, at a good 1,200 m. In early summer some colonies move up into the high country above 1,500 m, where the Alpine rose blooms. Small harvests, single-origin honeys, short distances: our honey comes straight from the hive into the jar – and from our home to yours.
Our street carries the name of a great son of the village: Simon von Taisten, born here around 1450, shaped the Puster Valley as a late-Gothic painter – his frescoes still adorn the St Erasmus Chapel in the heart of Taisten today. We think: a good address for honest craft.
