In the region in the heart of Tyrol, which is favoured by the climate, harvest time starts as early as mid-April: From now on, the local farmers harvest the first crunchy radishes. Later on, lettuces come in all variations, as well as about sixty other types of vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, endives or even courgettes and kohlrabi.
If you want to help yourself, the Haller Bauernmarkt on the Oberer Stadtplatz is the place to be: a weekly meeting place for locals and guests. Here, gourmets can taste and buy regional products from family-run farms at fair prices. The offer includes fresh fruit and vegetables, homemade bread, jam and honey, but also numerous fish, meat, bacon and sausage specialities.
