WHOLE FOODS MARKET® WELCOMES FALL WITH OKTOBERFEST SEASONAL OFFERINGS

Although leaves aren’t changing colors in sunny Florida, Whole Foods Market is celebrating autumn and the famed Oktoberfest festival with limited-time seasonal offerings.

Throughout the months of September and October, all 26 Whole Foods Market locations in Florida will host their take on Oktoberfest, the world’s largest folk festival, with Destination: Bavaria, where stores will highlight German cuisine at the hot food bars.

Known for its rich, hearty style, Bavarian cuisine often consists of potatoes, cabbage and select meats which are most often paired with a tall glass of German beer. To celebrate, Whole Foods Market locations will be offering authentic dishes such as:

  • Turkey Frikadellar – German-style hamburger with a sour cream and mustard sauce
  • Chicken Jaegerschnitzel – Breaded chicken thighs with a “hunter-style” mushroom and bacon sauce
  • Oktoberfest Potato Salad – Potatoes, ham and onion in a mustard vinaigrette
  • Bratkartoffeln – Potatoes sautéed in butter with pork belly and onion
  • A variety of bratwursts and sauerkraut

In addition, stores will feature fall seasonal beers and sausages made in-house, including options of chicken, bison, pork and buffalo blue cheese.
