Hoffest Gut Bliestorf

Spring at an Organic Estate

Gut Bliestorf is located in the municipality of Bliestorf, Amt Berkenthin, in the district of Herzogtum Lauenburg in the state of Schleswig-Holstein — halfway between Hamburg and Lübeck, in one of the most beautiful landscapes of the northern Sachsenwald. The historic estate is now home to an organic nursery and several workshops and cultural initiatives — and has been hosting its traditional Hoffest on May 1st for years.

What awaits you

The Hoffest is more than just selling plants — it's a tightly woven family festival of market, music, and culinary delights:

• Plant Market — Organic vegetable seedlings, flowers, herb and flower perennials from the Gut Bliestorf nursery
• Arts and Crafts — Wood crafts, jewelry, ceramics, pottery
• Gastronomy — Organic beer, organic juices, sausages, antipasti, organic wines, coffee, cake, crêpes, waffles, ice cream
• Live Music — Spring songs with Thomas Janzen (two sets)
• Spirituality — Mantra singing with Dunja Siebel
• Family Program — Pony rides, clown, theater
• Tipi with stick bread for children

Context: Organic, Preservation, Encounter

Gut Bliestorf is one of the flagship projects for organic agriculture and horticulture in Schleswig-Holstein. The Hoffest is an expression of these values — organic products, handmade items, regional producers, and a program that consciously allows for spiritual accents. Anyone looking for a decelerated alternative to the big city hustle and bustle on May 1st from Hamburg or Lübeck will find an extraordinary festival here.
