Farmers market pops up at Hayy Jameel to spread sustainability messageJEDDAH: The farmers market at Hayy Jameel, which took place from June 22-23 and boasted more than 16 vendors, was organized by Art Jameel and Azka Foods in Jeddah. The market offered an array of activities such as film screenings, workshops by Aysh Academy, cookery classes, and talks. A day trip to a farm in Al-Hada, Taif — specializing in berries and seasonal fruits — provided a highlight, giving visitors the chance to gain a deeper understanding and first-hand experience of local food sources. “Our participation in the farmers market is to not only educate people on healthy and organic eating, but also to acknowledge our dedicated farmers who are producing and delivering fresh food from seed to table. The atmosphere was wonderful and I hope we have frequent farmers markets in the city.”
