While in Sofia, don’t miss visiting one of the most famous farmers outdoors markets – the one in front of the beautiful building of the Ministry of Agriculture (this building has already been spotted by us, so read the article about it here). Usually it takes place on Wednesdays and Fridays.
In Bulgaria, we have a really strong tradition with agriculture and a variety of handicrafts. So these kinds of events are nothing rare here. It is a chance to support small producers and the local economy. At the farmers market you can find, buy and even taste typical Bulgarian yogurt, dairy products and eggs, honey, various types of jam, meat, all sorts of wine, rose and lavender products. Sometimes there are even stalls for flowers and herbs as well as some utility and sustainable products such as beeswax wrap paper, handmade accessories, decorations and cosmetics. Most of the time you can get freshly baked food – such as the popular banitsa or other pastries.
Last but not least, the prices are reasonable and the quality is even better than in the common shops and the largest supermarket chains.
