Estonians are hardworking farmers and foresters. In late summer and autumn, berries and mushrooms are carefully picked and a variety of preserves are made from them. Mushrooms are marinated or salted. Sea buckthorn berries are squeezed into a healthy drink for the winter. There are many different types of products made from honey. Onion and garlic varieties are fragrant on the tables.
Generations of the same family come together to pickle, jar, and share what they have picked and grown. It is a part of Estonian culture. Autumn markets are organised all over Estonia from September to November, and at them, you can find all manner of local delicacies.
