Culinary delights are brought to the market directly from the harvest. Many of the products come from organic farming and a lot of them have a special tradition in Styria: “Käferbohnen” scarlet runner beans, apples, pumpkin seed oil, farmer’s bread, bacon, homemade cakes, fresh flowers, and even lovingly cultivated seedlings, offering city-dwellers the possiblity to grow tomatoes right on their own balconies.. (Closed on Sunday and public holidays!)

The very best produce, direct from the farm

Even before the sun comes up over the famous tiled roofs of Graz, its farmers’ markets are in full swing. The huge number of farmers in the region (300 in Graz alone) fill their market stalls with wares picked just hours beforehand. It doesn’t get much fresher than that!

The Grazer Krauthäuptel

The Grazer Krauthäuptel can be found at Graz’s farmers’ markets from March to October. Its leaf edges have a reddish sheen, and chefs love its slightly sweet, bitter-free flavour. More than 15 million Grazer Krauthäuptel are grown every year. Every bite is a crisp, fresh treat, Graz-style! By the way: the Grazer Krauthäuptel goes perfectly with Styrian pumpkin seed oil!
