On Sunday 21 April we will have the new edition of the Farmers’ Market in Busto Arsizio in the Comerio Park (with entrances from via Espinasse, Via Magenta and via Silvio Pellico) from 9am to 1pm . The Farmer’s Market was born from the collaboration between Slow Food Legnano APS, Slow Food Valle Olona APS and some local producers following the example of the farmers’ markets of Cantalupo, San Giorgio su Legnano, Villa Cortese, Legnano and Nerviano.
The initiative consists of a market of local agricultural products scheduled for every third Sunday of the month in Comerio Park. You will be able to purchase seasonal products directly from the producers who will display the many goodies produced locally. In the market you will find products such as cured meats, bread and desserts, honey, cheeses, wine, oil, beer, rice, meat and other food products such as flours, vegetables and seasonal fruit.
The Farmers’ Market is a great opportunity to meet with producers who have decided not to be involved in large-scale distribution and to be able to communicate with the end user to share alternative food distribution proposals through the monthly farmers’ markets. Zero kilometer markets disseminate and encourage the exchange between consumers and producers of useful information on food education and correct lifestyles. The Farmers’ Market aims to enhance local products and safeguard the history and food culture of a community, as well as the landscape and territory to stimulate biodiversity and seasonality.
The initiative is carried out in collaboration with Royal Time and CaravanSeray.
The producers present also participate in the markets of Villa Cortese (first Saturday of the month in Piazza Della Quercia), of Cantalupo (first Sunday of the month in Piazza Don Carlo Bianchi), of Legnano (second Sunday of the month in Piazza Mercato), of San Giorgio in Legnano (third Saturday of the month in Piazza Mazzini) and in Nerviano (fourth Sunday of the month in Piazza Chiesa Colorina). All markets are present on the Facebook page “Mercati Contadini Alto Milanese” where you can find updates.
