Healthyfarm farmers market November 2017
Healthyfarm is a social enterprise developed by Evergreen Labs, a Danang-based company, which focuses on food sustainability. Healthyfarm.org provides a combined solution to food insecurity on both an online platform for purchasing clean, safe food and an offline farmers market. The online platform is accessible at www.healthyfarm.org while the farmers market is held on the last Sunday of every month.
Healthyfarm has made the first steps towards improving food security in Vietnam by hosting NINE clean food markets in Da Nang from November 2016 to September 2017. In total, over 11 tons of produce and food have been sold and nearly 12,000 visitors have visited the market. At the most recent farmer’s market, Healthyfarm welcomed 39
vendors and 2 workshops, 5 of which had their produce and products sold out.
Healthyfarm farmers market has received a lot of encouragement and support not only from our customers and vendors, but also from the Trading Department and City Authority.
The next Healthyfarm farmers market will be held on November 26th from 8.00am to 6pm under Tran Thi Ly Bridge, next to Euro Village. Both vendors from the last event and newly sourced vendors will attend this market.
Especially, this market is to celebrate Healthyfarm farmers’ market 1st birthday and we are doing our best to prepare for this event. In addition, next market hopes to expand our audience by introducing a wider variety of vendors, activities and performers. Visitors will have the chance to enjoy yummy food coming from various regions while swinging to the rhythm of acoustic music and musical performances.
Families will also find interactive and educational activities for their kids, including: coloring activities at the art corner, a seed planting workshop, handmade decoration items workshop and opportunities to get creative with wood sets. Not only children but also adults can get entertained by fantastic compost workshop, recycling games and live art activities.
Danang citizens, expats as well as tourists have the opportunity to directly purchase local produce, handmade products and food for themselves and their families from farms and producers across central Vietnam. This market is also a place to hang out for everyone from all walks of life and ranges of age!
Join us in creating a green and healthy living environment in central Vietnam!
