A Market with an Unusual Setting
The FloraFarm Ginseng in Bockhorn, a rural district of the town of Walsrode, is Germany's oldest ginseng farm and has been cultivating and processing the medicinal plant under the Lüneburger Heide sun for decades. Once a year, the Brüne family opens its historic farm complex for the Bockhorner Weihnachtsmarkt – a curated market that deliberately focuses on quality over size.
Arts and Crafts and Curiosities
The motto “Ginseng, Art & Curiosities” aptly describes the concept. In addition to products related to ginseng – from teas and tinctures to cosmetic care – visitors will find selected arts and crafts: ceramics, jewelry, felt work, turned wooden objects, Christmas decorations, and paintings by regional artists. The offering is complemented by culinary specialties, mulled wine, honey, spirits, and winter snacks.
Atmosphere of a Heath Farm
The stables, barns, and farm buildings of the FloraFarm form a closed inner courtyard, which is decorated with fairy lights, fire pits, and fir branches during Advent. Live music with a Christmas program provides the acoustic accompaniment. Those who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of large city markets will find a rural, almost familiar Advent atmosphere here.
Location in the Lüneburger Heide
Bockhorn is located about five kilometers southwest of Walsrode's town center in a heath and forest landscape. The market attracts an overregional audience from the Heidekreis district, the Hanover region, and Lower Saxony's north, and is often a destination for excursions combined with a walk in the heath.
