In the organizer's words:

A day on the Tiny Farm

Farmer For A Day offers you the opportunity to get a taste of the world of market gardening and gain your first practical experience on our farm in one morning.

In this compact course, you will learn how to set up a Tiny Farm, the main work steps and equipment in bio-intensive vegetable growing and how it fits into the food system.

The practical program includes a variety of activities, including a farm tour, practical exercises in the field as well as useful tips & tricks for gardening practice from experienced gardeners and opportunities for exchange.

In 2026, Farmer For A Day will take place on three dates with the following focal points:

> 10.04.2026 | "Start into spring"

Discover how to grow your own young plants. You will find out how plant growth works and learn about different cultivation methods. You will also learn how to use regenerative measures and the right tools to prepare the beds for planting in spring.

> 17.07.2026 | "Introduction to Market Gardening" (in English)

Summer is the peak of the gardening season and offers the opportunity to learn about the variety of activities involved in organic vegetable cultivation: planting, weeding, pest control and harvesting. The efficient and ergonomic execution of tasks plays an important role here, as do logistics and work organization. This workshop gives you a comprehensive insight into the processes involved in professional vegetable growing.

> 04.09.2026 | "Harvesting and processing"

In late summer, the Market Garden is in full splendor. After weeks and months of care, the vegetables are ready to harvest. In this workshop you will learn methods to preserve the rich harvest, for example through fermentation. More information about the program will follow.
