An old potato steamer cooks potatoes, which then will be served with an herb dip. A vintage tractor show and historical carriage also lure the visitors’ interest. The animal show presents farm animals, rabbits, horses, donkeys and birds of prey. Children can ride ponies or a merry-go-round.

The market offers all kinds of food specialties: fish brötchen, fried potatoes, egg rolls, gyros, steaks, plum cake, waffles and cakes.

Regional music associations provide the musical entertainment.

A few kilometers after Fohren-Linden, a sign shows the way to the farmers market.
