Organic farmers’ markets have a twelve-year tradition in Greece. Today their number has increased and totals 22 in the entire country. Organic growers can sell there their certified produce. Organic certification is regulated by the relevant law in force.

At these markets, consumers can purchase fresh and manufactured organic products (fruit and vegetables, edible olives, olive oil, wine, etc). They also have the chance to get information about farmers’ organic estates which they can actually visit so as to be better acquainted with rural lifestyle.

These markets serve as a bridge between the urban centres and the countryside. Town inhabitants and visitors learn about organic growing methods by coming into contact with farmers. Moreover, these markets foster ecological awareness and promote the important role of rural societies as a whole.
