Uppsala’s market squares, above all the lively Saturday market, bring local farmers and producers from the surrounding fertile countryside into the heart of the city. Stalls sell seasonal fruit and vegetables, root crops, honey, bread, cheese and flowers, championing local, sustainable agriculture. Buying directly from the growers supports the region’s small farms and rewards visitors with the freshest produce and a taste of local life. A colourful and sociable tradition, the market is a rewarding and responsible place to shop and to sample the produce of the Uppland countryside.
