Organic delicacies tour of the Wiesn
Green electricity, green gas, waste reduction through a one-way ban, water recycling and many other measures ensure a sustainable Oktoberfest. The list also includes the growing range of organic delicacies and regional products.

Organic delicacy tour: Festhalle Schottenhamel
The Festhalle Schottenhamel is the oldest and largest Festhalle (marquee) at the Oktoberfest. Here, great importance is attached to regional, sustainable and high-quality food and products. Most of the ingredients come from "Geprüfter Qualität Bayern", are certified organic or even bear the "Bio-Bayern" seal. The proportion of organic food on the menu at this restaurant is growing every year. Wiesnwirt Christian Schottenhamel is in direct contact with the organic farms, with whom he prefers to work on a long-term basis. His wish for the Wiesn of the future? Even more organic food from Bavaria. One example of this is the flour for Kasspatzn and Kaiserschmarrn: it comes from Wolfmühle in Forstinning. The family business processes grain from organic farmers from the districts of Ebersberg, Erding, Landshut and Rosenheim in its milling plant.

This year, Hühner- und Entenbraterei Ammer is celebrating its 140th Oktoberfest - as the second oldest festival tent and also the oldest chicken roasting house in the world. The Munich-based family business was the first tent ever to switch to organic food at the Oktoberfest back in 2000. Switching to organic is the life choice of Ammer-Wirt Josef Schmidbauer. The menu includes exclusively organic chicken and duck as well as vegetarian and vegan dishes of certified organic quality. The organic chicken comes from the Biogeflügelhof Graf, Bayern (Steinkirchen). The farm is run as a family business and is certified organic by Bavaria - with species-appropriate husbandry, access to the outdoors and organic feed.
