Every Tuesday and Saturday, this farmer's market takes place in the old town of Vevey, at the main…read moresquare in front of the lake. There's a great variety of veggies, fruits, meats, cheeses, bakeries, etc as well as a number of notable food stands, including Tibetan, pizza, Vietnamese, Mexican, and a rotisserie. There are also a few tables set up if you want to have lunch outside. Overall, a great atmosphere to do some food shopping and eating.

I tried to find this market seeking a change from the very good market in Colmar and the excellent…read moremarket in St Louis, but am now looking for a way to escape the urban dump of downtown Mulhouse, either Yelp or Apple Maps has failed badly. There is no farmer's market remotely near where I am. Edit. Found the market despite Apple Maps best efforts. It is excellent, huge with the best of Alsace for sale. Worth the effort but use a paper map.

I've finally found a good large farmer's market in Zürich…read more The farm stands range from wow-those-beets-just-came-out-of-the-ground to Wegmanns-style Italian oranges. Each stand's rules vary --- some are very hands-on, feel-the-fruit while others are strictly ask-and-point. Quality also seems to vary a fair amount --- but prices vary less. As with most farmer's markets, cash is easiest. Besides veggies, there usually two fish trucks, a few cheese / cured meat stands, and some smaller bakery stands. There's flowers, although I still don't see how Zürich can support this many florists. Not everything I've picked up at Helvetiamarkt has worked out --- but I finally have a source for farm-fresh kale ("Federkohl").

I had a long layover in Zurich and decided to go and explore the city…read more My husband and I got to this market randomly when we got off the train on the main station. I was so happy because the weather was cold so an indoor market was a perfect solution. The market is really nice and you get a sense of the Swiss tradition and offerings. It offers many kinds of souvenirs, scarves and gloves, wine and food. Lots of it! I ate at the airport before so wasn't hungry and regretted it. The market seemed to have many interesting local foods and the desserts were to die for! I definitely recommend going if you happen to visit Zurich.
