New Saturday Markets
For lovers of high-quality food, the new Hanoi Saturday Market will be a welcome addi-tion to weekends on West Lake.
Like the recent movement towards farmer’s markets in western cities, the market cen-tres around locally produced, high-quality products that come directly from the farmers. Come here to find free range chicken, fair trade produce as well as spirits and spices that are all made or grown locally. The market takes place each Saturday from 10am to 12.30pm.
The Hanoi Saturday Market is located in the yard of the ASVELIS office, at 4,67/12 Lane 67 To Ngoc Van, Tay Ho.

Since 1999, Nguyen Thi Nhung had been growing “safe vegetables” in her group with nine other households on the outskirts of Hanoi.
Safe vegetable production allows chemical fertilizers to be used at low-levels and certain classes of pesticides, but most toxic classes of chemicals are banned.
So when Nhung and other households in Bai Thuong Hamlet, Thanh Xuan Village, were approached by staff from local NGO Action for the City in mid-2008 to make the transition into organic production, Nhung said not a single farmer in her Soc Son District group thought that it would bring them additional profits.
