The regional and farmers' market is a format of the Oderland-Spree planning region. It is held every year alternately by the districts of Oder-Spree and Märkisch-Oderland and by the city of Frankfurt (Oder) with the participation of district farmers' associations. In 2024, it will be the turn of the Märkisch-Oderland district – and it has chosen Altranft as the venue. The day will be organized in cooperation with the Oderbruchmuseum, the Altranfter Traditionsverein, the Frankfurt (Oder) Chamber of Crafts and, last but not least, our media partner rbb Antenne Brandenburg.
