In its tenth season, Farmers’ Market on Bay Avenue, Business Bay is set to reopen starting November 2 until the end of the growing season in 2019, which is typically April. This year the market will run on both Fridays and Saturdays, with extended hours from 7am until 3pm.
Baker & Spice’s community-led initiative supports local organic farmers with a rent-free space to showcase their home-grown, organic produce (fruits and vegetables), sell directly to customers and keep all of the profits.
It is a perfect weekend activity for foodies and families. Consumers can connect directly to growers, and regulars usually bring in their own seeds they’d like farmers to grow or alternatively place orders for their preferred produce.
They can experience home-grown, organic products with some partnering vendors, such as Carla Thetford, an artisan cheesemaker in Dubai; Dima Sharif, who buys vegetables from the market and uses for picking; Mirzam chocolate; Slow Food; and more.
Visitors can also enjoy fresh fruit, honey, eggs, bread, sweets, pastries and more. Children can spend their time on face painting or painting on a canvas, as well as a playing area and skate park.
