Horn Earth Market

The Horn Earth Market is coordinated by Helmut Hundliger, leader of the Slow Food Waldviertel Convivium – one of Austria’s most active. The convivium is the heart and soul of the market: it is part of the organizing committee, plans events (cultural and gastronomic activities, wine tastings, concerts and theater performances) and runs the communication. It also promotes the project, "Food education and a healthy life," where children learn where their food comes from and how to cook.
Horn is a small town with 6,000 inhabitants in the eastern region of Waldviertel, close to the region of Wachau, at the border with Czech Republic. A Slow City, Horn is very active, with a packed program of events and a solid local community. Every second and fourth Saturday (except January and February), from 9 am to 1 pm, 20 or so producers meet in the city’s historical square.
All producers come from within a 40 kilometers radius. They come bearing fresh fruit and vegetables, cheeses, herbal infusions, cured meats, bread and bakery products, pasta, grains, wines, spirits, liqueurs, free range poultry, and freshwater lake and river fish. Five Ark of Taste products can also be found at the market: Waldstaudekorn, a variety of rye soon to become a Presidium; Waldschaf, a sheep breed, literally "of the forest;" Waldviertler Blondvieh, a native cattle breed; Roter Veltliner, an ancient grape variety; Waldviertel Kriecherl, a plum variety from Waldviertel; and saffron from the Wachauer Saffron Presidium.
Many of them are certified by Bio Austria or Demeter (for biodynamic products) while five use a self-certification system. Furthermore, the producers involved sign an agreement with the convivium in which they commit to selling good, clean and fair products at fair prices.
