One of my favorite events in the Fall here in Germany is the pumpkin festival at Hischerhof Farms in Maßweiler, Germany. It is not some gigantic event with no room to walk, (well not if you get there early enough). There are all sorts of vendors set up out in a grassy pasture ready to sell you antiques, jams, cheeses, garden statues, baskets, wooden swords, linens, you name it! Then you move toward an old barn that houses all sorts of delicious pumpkin related foods...pumpkin soup (what many people go to this festival for), pumpkin brats (either with pumpkin seeds in them or with bits of pumpkin in them), pumpkin beer, pumpkin secco (my favorite) and more.
Of course the food is not everything, there are also thousands of pumpkins available for purchase (as well as many other gourds). So, basically it is a good little festival to enjoy in the Fall (but the store is open year round if you really need some Kurbissecco or pumpkin spread and run out). There is also a corn maze and blumen field.
This lovely morning started out with a lot of fog. I was going to pick up my friend Jeanne so we cold go to the festival and found that I had to stop a few times (not that the fog stopped me, but because it was so pretty on the fields). Here are a few pictures from the day.
