In addition to linking the habitat networks of wildlife, the National Ecological Green Network Project also aims to link human networks. The government promotes the concept of the Ecological Green Network in various ways, including seminars, workshops, farmers' markets, etc. One of the famous farmers' markets that responds to the National Ecological Green Network is called Water Garden Organic Farmers' Market.
The Water Garden Organic Farmers' Market started with a group of farmers who transformed Taiwan through natural farming on friendly land. This farmers' market is the first organic farmers' market in Taipei. These farmers formed a community that linked land, ecology, farmers, and dining tables to establish a new organic market. Being friendly to the earth, respecting life, supporting health, fair trading, and the aesthetics of life, they created a mutually supportive organic farmers' market established in 2012 from the heart. The Water Garden Organic Farmers' Market has been in operation for more than ten years and was officially relocated from the Water Mist Garden in the Taipei Water Supply Park to Pukui Road on the National Taiwan University campus in the fall of 2019.
Water in Water Garden Organic Farmers' Market is like the nectar that nourishes the earth, farming, and life. Combining the rest of the water garden with the humanistic style of the market, people can enjoy the comfort of taking a quiet place when visiting the Water Garden Organic Farmers' Market. Visiting the market is also a fun activity for the whole family to relax, buy ingredients, make friends, and increase knowledge about food during the holidays.
The venue at National Taiwan University campus has a number of stalls that come regularly every week, making it the largest regular organic farmers' market in Taipei. However, no matter where the venue is or whether the weather changes in cold or warm seasons, the partners of the Water Garden Organic Farmers' Market will open every Saturday. Market partners from all over Taiwan will arrive here early and set up tents in the morning light to cherish the weekly meeting with consumers.The market was closed due to COVID, but it reopened this year. If you haven't planned anything for this coming Saturday, the Water Garden Organic Farmers' Market is a great place to visit!
