Hong Kong Farmer Markets: Where to Buy The Freshest Produce
Besides visiting the city’s far-flung farms, you can also buy the freshest produce in farmers’ markets. Not only do you get a chance to chat and mingle with the farmers, it’s also a good income generator for them as there’s no middleman involved in the transactions. Here’s our handy guide to Hong Kong’s farmers’ markets.
