Farmers markets are an important part of the urban/farm connection and have continued to rise in popularity, due to the growing consumer interest in obtaining fresh organic products directly from the farm. The Bangkok Farmers Market allows consumers to connect with the farms producing their food.

BKKFM are working with local Thai and International Schools to develop programs to educate students about the importance of organic foods, healthy eating, gardening, and self reliance.

Organic gardeners, health professionals, and industry experts will be giving presentations and classes during the farmers market on a regular basis. Check out their website www.bkkfm.com for up to date schedules.

The Bangkok Farmers Market supports community related events, projects and charitable causes. Contact them directly if you would like be apart of the change.

It is a brilliant concept and one that should be supported by everyone of this forum. I would love to be part of it. The issue that needs to be resolved from my end it that of logistics. Sisaket (my patch) is 550 km away from the market. The oncost impost on goods is high. Is there any thoughts on how that be defrayed? I would not be looking to profit from passing on knowledge but simply getting there with perishable product is not cheap. If that could be traded in exchange for having to raise product prices, it would be a plus for everyone. Farm-gate prices means exactly that!
