BENVINGUTS A PAGÈS LA FESTA 2023

Benvinguts a Pagès La Festa is a weekend in which farms from all over Catalonia open their doors to show us their fields, flocks, boats and workshops. Two unique days to rediscover where everything we eat comes from, to meet the people who make the food that reaches our homes, and a chance to stock up by buying directly from the producer.

The 2023 edition will be held in person on the last weekend of September (30 September and 1 October).  

TAKE PART

As a farm that has applied for the Local Sales seal, or fishers interested in fishing tourism, we encourage you to take part in this initiative, which seeks to make known the origin of what we eat, highlight the work of producers across Catalonia and promote local sales of our food.

See the requirements for participation. 

The period to apply to take part in Benvinguts a Pagès La Festa is now open: see the website.

VISITS BY BOOKING

This year, for the second year running, visits will be managed through a booking system. The farms taking part in Benvinguts a Pagès will have a self-managed booking tool on the website so that anyone who wishes can visit during the set times, and they undertake to receive visitors as follows: 

• Saturday 30 September, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
• Sunday 1 October, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and optionally from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The organisers of Benvinguts a Pagès accept no responsibility for the correct application of safety recommendations by the farms towards the visitors they receive, nor for any consequences that may arise.
