One of the things I loved most about California was that every weekend there would be some major farmers market somewhere close by.I would walk past the stalls and enjoy the variety of fresh, organic, local produce, always wishing Hong Kong would have something like that.
Hong Kong kind of did but only every month and in a much smaller scale. People certainly would not mark their calendars for that.
That might all change with Hong Kong Markets Organisation's big project: Island East Markets .
Well, my Paleo people get your red pens out now.
Island East Markets is a Sunday market in TaiKoo Place, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong, where local organic farmers, designers, craftspeople & sustainable retailers can come together, opening !
Market Map
With this market the organizers want to bring together fresh produce grown by Hong Kong’s top organic farmers, handcrafted goods made by local artisans, even local bands. In short: good stuff Hong Kong has to offer.
Island East Market will give primal eaters and informed consumers the possibility to talk to the farmers, get to buy and know more about unknown local Hong Kong veggies and fruits, join cooking demos and talks by the SAR's eco front figures. It is also an outing event for families where kids can learn about real food.
HKMO tries to ensure the quality and integrity of the produce sold by selecting established Hong Kong organic farmers, and through constant sampling with help of the Federation of Vegetable Marketing Co-operative Societies (FVMCS), the main channel of communication between the HKSAR Government and local farmers.
