At this place, over 530 products from 77 companies are sold, including dried persimmons and strawberries, which have received the Korea Representative Brand Award.

Products at the Happiness Market boast trustworthy taste and quality through strict screening from the entry stage. In particular, it operates on a direct transaction basis between producers and consumers, eliminating intermediate distribution costs, making prices affordable.

A county official said, “We will continue to promote various policies that help expand the sales of agricultural products of our local farmers, including the introduction of this Zero Pay service,” and added, “We hope you will experience the excellent agricultural specialties of Jirisan Clean Valley Sancheong-gun through Zero Pay and special sales events that can reduce concerns about COVID-19.”
