Since 2010, the popularity of the so called “farmers’ markets” has been quickly rising all around the Czech republic.

Small vendors regulary selling their fruits, vegetables, meat and various delicatessen have become a welcomed alternative to the international supermarket chains and to the market at Zelný trh sq., spoiled by some industrially produced vegetables.
