September is Estonia's Food Month, "I Love Estonian Food." We love Estonian food too! Continuing the tradition, this year we're offering lessons in preparing beloved Estonian dishes. Agricultural Museum will share tips on crafting delicious handmade bread and offer freshly baked loaves. Carl Robert Jakobson Farm Museum will teach how to make "sõir" (kind of a cheese) and "karask"(kind of a bread). Estonian Dairy Museum will demonstrate butter and ice cream making.

Kids can meet and pet adorable animals in the mini-animal enclosure and visit the curly-haired alpacas at the Sarve Wellness Farm area. The Southern Estonia Dog Center will introduce different dog breeds and hold dog performances. Additionally, kids can enjoy carousel rides, trampoline jumping, and try their hand at being a farmer at the Mini Farm play area.

For the first time at the Ülenurme Autumn Fair, you can explore a fascinating exhibition of various tomato varieties grown in Estonia, presented by Kaja Murde from the Tomato Garden.
