We live in a Berlin suburb called Dahlem. For over 600 years, Dahlem was a village on the outskirts of the city. As the city grew over the last 100 years, the village was incorporated within its limits. As homes were built, some historic structures were maintained, including a 400-year old farm with animals and agricultural fields. Today, the farm serves as an educational and cultural center that promotes sustainable agriculture and farm to table dining. We are lucky to live in a suburb that is only 30 minutes from downtown Berlin and includes a working farm! On weekends, the farm often has a festival or outdoor market. Today they held a "Kartoffel Fest" which translates to "Potato Festival."
