Just Fair Market – Fairly Fantastic Fare
I came across this farmers market in Dublin a little while ago, and I keep meaning to mention it here. I noticed them because they link here, so I can see it in my log files.
Besides featuring local Irish farmers and independent food shops, here are a couple of things that make this market look really interesting:
- Every weekend one or more stands offers cooking lessons.
- There’s an information point, offering advice on what’s good to buy and why.
This really goes beyond what I normally see at farmers markets, and I think it’s neat. It shows a unique commitment of engagement with their customers.
If you’re in Dublin, I hope you’ll pay them a visit. Then please come back here and leave a comment telling us what you think!
Would love to visit Dublin someday. My family came from there to the US in 1790. heard we have a castle there too.
Hi Randy!
Yours is another blog I see often in my log files, because you link to me and a lot of people follow the link here.
I really like your pictures and your sense of nature.
I hope you make it to Dublin sometime. About 10 years ago I was there for several months for work. I really enjoyed it. It’s a very friendly city, with lots to do and see.
You should make it a point to get out to the countryside too. There’s lots to see there as well.
The market sounds really great. One innovation here in Tokyo is a night market held once a month. It helps attract people to the market that otherwise might not give it a second thought, and gives a vegetable geek like me a good excuse to invite people down to one of my favorite things. How do they choose what’s good to buy and why, I wonder?
