In the spring of 2019, the first vegetables were planted on the Michelberger Farm, a collection of fields and orchards in Spreewald which produce ingredients for the kitchen of the namesake hotel. Over time, the farm grew and by winter 2019, 1.5 hectares of the farm had been planted with a variety of fruit and nut trees, shrubs, berries and trees. Particular attention is paid to the herbs, the aim being to give diners a unique gastronomic experience. You can see the farm for yourself this Sunday (02.10.2022) at the fourth edition of Michelberger’s Farm Feast, where tours of the land are being held. Afterwards, the team are hosting an on-site lunch in what must be the most literal instance of farm-to-table dining you’ll come across.
For the autumn edition the seated dinner is being swapped for food and drink stands so you can mix and mingle with family, friends and neighbors of the farm. Arrival by car or train is possible with a complimentary shuttle pick up from Vetschau station on request. If you fancy breaking a sweat before you feast, you can sign up for a free bike tour with Tom Michelberger starting from Lübbenau train station. There are also plenty more activities to take advantage of during your trip to Spreewald, including spending an evening unwinding at Spreewald Therme Burg or checking out Ponyhof Reptenfor some more high-octane fun.
