Biofest in Algund (Organic Festival of Lagundo)

Biofest in Algund, the organic festival in South Tyrol

Biofest in Algund, known in Italian as the Organic Festival of Lagundo, is one of the most established events dedicated to organic farming and healthy living in South Tyrol. The event takes place every autumn at the Thalguterhaus in Lagundo/Algund, in the Province of Bolzano, and attracts families, natural food enthusiasts, and curious visitors from across the Merano basin every year.

A market dedicated to genuine products

The heart of the festival is the large organic produce market: stalls laden with seasonal fruit and vegetables, aromatic herbs, herbal teas, wines, fruit juices, bread, and other baked goods from local organic farms. Local producers showcase the fruits of their labor, offering visitors the chance to meet those who farm according to sustainable principles and to purchase genuine specialties directly.

Wholefood cuisine, lectures, and entertainment

Alongside the market, the festival square kitchen offers dishes based on wholefood and organic ingredients for a healthy and tasty open-air lunch. The program includes lectures and meetings with speakers focused on health, natural nutrition, and environmental sustainability, while entertainment engages both adults and children with activities and games designed for families.

An event dedicated to health and sustainability

Biofest is organized by the South Tyrolean Society for Health Promotion (Südtiroler Gesellschaft für Gesundheitsförderung) together with the Association of Alternative Farmers of South Tyrol. The event stems from a desire to spread a culture of conscious consumption and to highlight the link between territory, health, and the environment. In a region already famous for the quality of its agricultural products, Biofest represents an exceptional showcase for South Tyrolean organic goods.

Lagundo and the Merano basin

The municipality of Lagundo, nestled at the foot of the Tessa Group and overlooking the city of Merano, offers an ideal setting for this autumn celebration of flavors. Amidst orchards, vineyards, and paths along the irrigation channels (Waalweg), the village combines South Tyrolean farming tradition with tourist hospitality. Attending Biofest means experiencing a day dedicated to taste, nature, and conviviality in Trentino-South Tyrol.
