In Groningen, you can enjoy fresh, local produce at a local market somewhere every week. That courgette from the neighbour's vegetable garden tastes much better than an imported mass-produced courgette. Be surprised by all the good things the region has to offer, and try your hand at local delicacies at the smaller markets. Here is a list of monthly local markets.
Streekproductenmarkt Nienoord
Every 1st Saturday of the month, 10:00 to 16:00 - The streekproductenmarkt Nienoord is organised every month at Landgoedboerderij Oosterheerdt in Leek. At this market you will find a range of the tastiest food products from the region. All products are grown, cultivated and prepared within a 40-kilometre radius of Leek. The vendor - often also the producer - will tell you all about the products and sometimes you get to taste them. Eating from the region also means eating in season. As a result, the offer varies every month, which keeps the meals exciting and healthy.
