At this Saturday agricultural product market, urban residents who leased garden plots directly cultivated and produced items such as cabbage, radish, and broccoli. In addition, honey, pollen, rice, sweet potatoes, green onions produced by farmers participating in the urban beekeeping program and the Chonnam Agricultural Meister University were showcased, along with lettuce, melon, and tomatoes produced by students from the Smart Farming Startup Specialization Project Group, gaining great popularity among local residents.

Farmers facing difficulties in securing sales channels also participated as sellers, selling fresh agricultural products at prices lower than the market, achieving direct transactions that satisfied both producers and consumers.

Furthermore, this direct transaction market featured various events that added enjoyment, including diverse handicraft experiences, agricultural product discount coupons linked with outdoor play programs, treasure hunts within the arboretum, and souvenir giveaways through campaigns promoting proper companion animal culture establishment.
