Bringing fresh flavours and innovative creations from local farmers, artisans and entrepreneurs, the Farmers’ Market is back in all its glory.

The much-anticipated 12th edition of the market is set to make its return to the picturesque Budaiya Botanical Gardens this winter, running every Saturday from December 7 to February 22, 2025, from 7am to 2pm.

Organised by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Agriculture in collaboration with the National Initiative for Agricultural Development and STC Bahrain, this annual event champions the Kingdom’s agriculture sector and encourages sustainable food practices.

Since its launch in 2012, the Farmers’ Market has grown to become a cherished tradition, fostering connections between local farmers, entrepreneurs and the community.

Visitors can look forward to a delightful showcase of fresh produce, handmade Bahraini crafts and innovative products from talented local brands. The market features stalls from agricultural enterprises, restaurants, cafes and date shops, alongside entrepreneurs and productive families offering unique, locally sourced items. It’s a platform where visitors can meet the Kingdom’s agricultural pioneers and explore a variety of locally grown products, reflecting the market’s role in promoting sustainable production and innovation in agriculture. Last year’s Farmers’ Market drew more than 230,000 visitors, underlining its popularity among locals, expats and tourists alike. This year, the market will offer an enriching experience with the organising committee curating an exciting lineup of programmes and events.

Whether you’re a fan of seasonal produce, a supporter of local craftsmanship or simply looking for a relaxing day out in nature, the market has something for everyone. ✤
