German term or phrase: Ab-Hof-Verkauf
Heute steht der Ab-Hof-Verkauf mitten im Dornbirner Oberdorf. Zu kaufen gibt’s erntefrische Beeren, Beerensirup und Beerensaft, Dörrobst, Beerenessig , Marmeladen aus allen Sorten, Tee, Beerenliköre , Erdbeer-Dessertwein und im Oktober/November Kürbisse aller Art.

This is from a tourist brochure about Dornbirn. I just can't quite put my finger on the English equivalent to this. I had thought of 'farm shop' but any other ideas welcome!
