From organic veggies to seasonal fruits,  free-range eggs to artisanal cheeses, and handcrafted juices to premium ciders and preserves—each stall promises a delightful surprise. And let’s not overlook the assortment of fresh meats and fish, spanning from succulent lamb to flavorful venison, alongside indulgent treats like yogurt, ice cream, and occasionally, raw milk. For those craving more, there’s a tempting selection of real bread, savory pies, decadent cakes, convenient ready meals, and nourishing soups, complemented by aromatic herb and veg plants waiting to grace your garden.
