The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, through the General Directorate of Organic Agriculture and the Association for the Advancement of Mediterranean Agroecology, Al Munia, opens this Saturday the first organic farmers market in Andalusia, La Huerta at Velez Malaga. The project, conceived as a direct marketing of food from organic agroiculture, involves a total of twelve groups of organic producers in different parts of Andalusia, who will then sell the products grown and/or processed by them themselves, such as fruits and vegetables, preserves, extra virgin olive oil, bread, cold meats, cheeses, etc.

The area ready for the market, located on the Paseo de Andalucía, will also enable a tent information on organic agriculture and developed a set of parallel activities such as workshops, talks and tastings of organic produce. Similarly, the organization has planned the launch of a dynamic series of proposals aimed at different groups (students, families, groups, etc).

    This sounds amazing. Here in the United States it is very hard to find things like this going on, and organic agriculture is still SO expenssive compared to standard food production, it's hard to eat organically if you're just starting out in life, or living on a tight budget.
