Kleiner Bauernmarkt Farmers' Market in Steinegg Village Center

The Collepietra Farmers' Market

The Kleiner Bauernmarkt im Dorfzentrum Steinegg is a small, vibrant farmers' market that brings the center of Steinegg/Collepietra to life every Saturday morning. Located in a village within the municipality of Cornedo all'Isarco/Karneid, in the Val d'Ega valley (Province of Bolzano, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol), this is not a large-scale event, but a cherished local tradition: a few stalls, plenty of authenticity, and a direct connection between those who grow the food and those who buy it.

What you will find at the stalls

The market focuses entirely on short supply chains and seasonal produce. Everything on sale comes directly from local farmers, with no intermediate steps.

• Seasonal vegetables freshly picked from the valley's gardens;
• Fresh fruit of the season, from early summer berries to autumn apples;
• Dairy products and cheeses, including artisanal goods from the Ebenhof farm;
• Other rural specialties tied to the rhythm of the seasons.

The format follows the classic South Tyrolean "zero-kilometer" tradition: shoppers know exactly where their food comes from and have the chance to chat with the producers themselves.

When and where

The market is held every Saturday morning from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the village square, right in front of the tourist office and the Raiffeisenkasse in Steinegg (Kirchweg 5). The season runs during the most bountiful months of the year, from mid-July through the Christmas holidays.

A slice of village life in Val d'Ega

Collepietra is a sunny balcony overlooking the Sciliar and Catinaccio Dolomites, serving as a perfect starting point for hikes and walks. The Saturday market is the ideal opportunity to combine a visit to the village with the purchase of fresh local products while soaking up the quiet, authentic atmosphere of this corner of the Cornedo all'Isarco/Karneid municipality. For both residents and holidaymakers, it is a small weekly ritual that celebrates the agricultural culture of the Trentino-Alto Adige region.
