Bauernmarkt am Küsterhaus Marschacht

Küsterhaus as a Historic Market Setting

The Küsterhaus in Marschacht is a historic building in the Elbmarsch region and is one of the characteristic structures of the area. With its central location in the municipality, it provides the ideal backdrop for a farmers' market focused on regional identity and direct marketing.

Direct Marketers from the Region

At the heart of the market offerings are the direct marketers from the Elbmarsch municipality, the Harburg district, and neighboring districts. They bring their products directly from the farm to the market: fresh eggs, seasonal vegetables, fruit from the Altes Land region, sausages and meat products, cheese, honey, jams, bread, juices, and regional specialties. The direct connection between producer and consumer is a programmatic goal of the market.

Arts and Crafts and Culinary Stalls

In addition to food products, arts and crafts and culinary specialties are offered. Ceramics, textiles, jewelry, woodwork, and creative home accessories showcase the region's artisanal diversity. Culinary offerings from food trucks and snack stands complement the range with warm dishes and drinks, making the market a culinary destination as well.

Family Program

Play activities for children, hands-on stations, and occasional animal exhibits make the market family-friendly. The combination of a market for adults and a children's program is a deliberate element of the market concept, ensuring that families can enjoy a long visit to the market.

Elbmarsch Municipality as a Region

The Elbmarsch municipality, situated between the Geest and the Elbe river, is predominantly agricultural and home to numerous direct marketers who offer their products from their farms or at markets. The Bauernmarkt am Küsterhaus is one of the most important showcases for this direct marketing and strengthens awareness of regional producers.
