2022 June - With the community cheese dairy the alp of Uri has a future
Four alpine farmers from Uri are joining forces to process milk. They are founding a joint cheese dairy in order to process their milk efficiently and hygienically on the alp in the future and to sell finished products via the associated mountain restaurant.

2022 April -There is no money for a larger alpine restaurant
The Alpbeizli on the remote Lower Engadine alp is very popular with hikers and mountain walkers, but it regularly reaches capacity limits.

2021 November -Village store in a mountain village in Uri
After the closure of the only village store, the mountain village in Uri at 1800 m above sea level is left without a local shopping possibility. But the mountain people become active. They found a cooperative to take over the store. The village population participates in the project in solidarity.

2021 October -New loose housing for horned dairy cows
A few years ago, a dairy farmer's family in the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden took over the farm from the husband's parents and steadily expanded it. Because they have to keep their cattle in outdated and too small stables, they would like to build a new farm building. Landjäger.ch supports this project with a contribution to the Swiss Mountain Aid.

2021 August - The pasture barn needs to be replaced
Mountain farmers in Uri need to rebuild a pasture stable because it is outdated and not very animal-friendly. This requires support, because the own funds are not enough to manage the project. An ideal project that we from Landjäger.ch gladly support.

2021 July -Two years of construction work threatened
Mountain farming, agrotourism and assisted living: With this unique combination, a young Emmental family has built a livelihood. But the corona crisis threatens the project. Landjäger.ch supports the farmers with a contribution to Swiss Mountain Aid as part of the Corona emergency aid.

2021 May - Corona crisis: Entlebuch young entrepreneur suffers from slump in demand
Thanks to Swiss Mountain Aid, we support small and micro businesses in the mountain region that are being driven into financial straits by the Corona crisis. This is also the case for a small Entlebuch company that runs a bakery with a branch, two village stores and a small snack bar.

2021 January - Store creates future for family of nine
In this project, Berghilfe supports a large family that can no longer live from their farm alone. Therefore, the creative mountain farmer has been successfully running her own store with silhouette work for years. Due to the scarce income from agriculture, she now wants to expand this sideline business. But for this again the present local is much too small. A former inn is now to be converted and renovated into a store and event location.
