In Groningen, you can enjoy fresh, local produce at a regional market somewhere every week. That courgette from your neighbour’s vegetable patch really does taste much better than one of those mass-produced imported ones. Let yourself be surprised by all the delicious produce the region has to offer, and why not give the local specialities at the smaller markets a try? Here’s an overview of the monthly regional markets.
Streekproductenmarkt Nienoord
Every first Saturday of the month, 10:00 to 16:00 – The streekproductenmarkt Nienoord is held every month at Landgoedboerderij Oosterheerdt in Leek. At this market, you’ll find a selection of the region’s tastiest food products. All products are grown, cultivated and prepared within a 40-kilometre radius of Leek. The seller – often the producer themselves – will tell you all about the products, and sometimes you’ll even be able to have a taste. Eating locally also means eating seasonally. The range therefore varies from month to month, which keeps your meals exciting and healthy.
