Harvest time in autumn

Around this time we come together at autumn markets and harvest festivals, we harvest cabbage and beets, and we pickle vegetables. And we invite you to join our community to enjoy Halland’s flavours and experience the love of food made from local produce.

During the autumn, the wild nature is also like a pantry. Head out into the wilderness and find your own favourite flavours. We have put together tips about berries and mushroom picking, invigorating hiking trails, amazing nature reserves and much more besides.

Farm shops, local flavours and top quality raw ingredients

Embark on a culinary journey through the landscape and sample the flavours of Halland from the soil, the forest and the fields. It’s worth a day trip or two to one of our well-stocked farm shops! We have put together a list of our local farm shops and are sure that this will give rise to a loving conversation about the love of food, the raw ingredients and the products.
