Monthly regional markets in the city and environs

In the city and province of Groningen, enjoy fresh and local products sold at regional markets which are held monthly. Be as sustainable as you can be with fruit, vegetables, diary, meat, bread, eggs and traditional regional delicacies. Following is an overview of regular regional markets in and around the city.

Nienoord regional produce market | Boerderij Oosterheerdt Leek

Every 1^st Saturday of the month, from 10 am until 4 pm – The Nienoord regional product market provides the most delicious food from the region. All products are grown, cultivated and prepared within a 40-kilometre radius around Leek. Most of the products can be tasted and sellers – who commonly produce the food they sell – can tell you the story behind the product or provide tips to prepare it. Regional food means seasonal food and supplies thus change monthly, ensuring that meals are exciting and healthy
