We were visiting Livorno and came here to check out this popular central market place. It's got…read moremany vendors selling baked goods, meats, seafood, cured meats, cheeses, and some other items. They have food vendors inside as well. The entire place is interesting and clearly been around a long time. It was about 2/3 populated with vendors, so there were plenty of empty spaces. Overall, it's one of the very few things to see/do in Livorno. There isn't a lot going on in this town otherwise.

The shop is a farmer's market featuring mostly local produce, meats, cheese, wine from local producers. The ham that the lady carves by the front door is out of this world!!! There is a filling station where you can fill your containers with wine and pay by the liter. They also have a good selection of local wines, Chianti and all, raw milk, etc. And you'll leave this place with a nice fuzzy feeling that you helped the local farmers instead of some giant industrial food conglomerate, a plus.

They had fresh fruit and vegetables that were just amazing. Meat and cheeses as well. I also found clothes, shoes, household item, linens and tablecloths, flowers and more.

I loved interacting with all the wonderful people.I also had a cappuccino and a pastry that was out of this world. I so enjoyed my time there and brought back many inexpensive great finds!

this is a farm that delivers organic produce directly to your house.The program works like this,…read moreyou get to try a 'sample' box for free of what kind of vegetables they will deliver ( there are two sizes) and whats inside? fresh seasonal vegetables from the farm. they use no dangerous chemicals and they participate in programs like GAS. After speaking to them over email, they delivered our box the very next day. We got a really impressive variety of veggies, bell peppers, peppers, onions, garlic, cabbage, eggplant, herbs, leeks and even a huge yellow melon. The price is 15 euros for a 'standard' box and they deliver weekly (you can arrange with them). They have a sort of membership, you have to agree to 10 deliveries which costs 150 euros (15 euros a box + delivery) and that includes IVA. highly recommend if you live in Tuscany! We are so happy to have a variety of fresh organic veggies to truly eat healthy in a way without having to travel at all. You are also more than welcome to visit the farm and they encourage it!

Might be a good time.
