The Goan Farmers' Market held recently in Navelim, South Goa, was a big draw for its local products.
The market, which was created some years ago, is a great platform for vendors and farmers from Navelim and surrounding areas to showcase and sell their produce.
One of the major thrusts of the market was 'buy local and eat local'.
The market also supports community economics and in the bargain builds relationships with local food producers.
The market had seasonal fruits and local vegetables on sale.
While some people came to look for local food and veggies, there were few who wanted to get kitchen gardening tips.
A board at the market that had the message for longevity of life.
The market also had Goan delicacies on sale.
