Tips & Advice
- Bring the kids to the open farm, where they can watch the milking, meet newborn calves, try milking a cow and sit in a real tractor.
- Don't plan on reserving a table in the castle during the market, because dining there is drop-in only for private visitors.
- Have Swish ready on your phone before you arrive, because the market takes Swish and it is an easy way to pay at the stalls.
- Stock up for your Christmas table in the greenhouse in front of the farm shop, where small producers let you taste sausage, cheese, herring and candy.
- Dress warmly, because much of the market is spread across the farm grounds outdoors among lit torches, Christmas trees and open fires.
