For me it was a well spent sunday, sourcing out veggies like, cilantro, mint leaves, asparagus, purple cabbage, beetroot, red pepper. I also picked sonamasuri brown rice, sesame oil from Naturally Yours -they are based in Chembur and they deliver free of cost anywhere in Mumbai.
Farmers market is one of a kind in Mumbai, and started first by Kavita Mukhi, an entrepreneur and eco-nutritionist who founded the organic brand Concious Foods. Farmers market is scheduled every sundays from 10am to 4-5pm and updates can be found on their facebook profile. Don't forget to carry your own bags this sunday. Have a great week.
but how expensive is it compared to the regular market ?
ReplyDeleteis the diffrence substantial ?
I bought a bunch of cilantro, and a bunch of mint leaves for Rs15, which is cheaper as compared to the regular market charging Rs10 for each bunch and a lot more in quantity too....
ReplyDeleteThe red pepper I bought was for Rs15 for two as compared to Rs30-40 in some of the supermarkets....
The brown sonamasuri rice is Rs70 as compared to the regular rice, it all depends on your choice/preference for some organically grown products. Overall the fruits and veggies were extremly fresh and you could buy asparagus, purple cabbage which is rare to find otherwise.
