Karin Spitaler teaches natural science at an upper school in Bozen.
As a ‘farmer-on-the-side’, she has both a theoretical and a practical knowledge of nature - every day and right up close. She has been following her calling as a farmer since she took over the family land and cultivated, first, grapes and apples - although now she has gone over entirely to apples. In the early 2000s, Karin put her principles into practice and switched to organic, the first to do so in the farmers’ association to which she then belonged. These days she’s no longer alone in this - she always was a pioneer and a trailblazer.
Once her hours of lessons are complete, she finds her roles as a wife and a mother to three children keep her feet on the ground. While the children spend their free time whizzing around on wheels or chasing footballs, Karin and her husband relax in their fruit orchards. Far from the hustle and bustle of the working day and close to Mother Nature.
