This event was organized to promote fresh agricultural products directly cultivated by young farmers and to activate direct transactions by supplying them to citizens at affordable prices.

At the market, a variety of excellent agricultural products from Namyangju were prepared, including △strawberries △salads △Meokgol pears △Gorosoe sap △leafy vegetables △pear juice, and a tasting event for some items was held during the event period, allowing citizens to taste and purchase fresh agricultural products directly.

In particular, young farmers had time to communicate with consumers by introducing and selling agricultural products they cultivated themselves at the market. Earlier in January, they also held the Lunar New Year 'Visiting Young Farmers Leisure Farm Market' at Hyundai Premium Outlet SPACE1, which received great responses.

Mayor Joo Gwang-deok said, “We will prepare various sales channels and support measures for the stable settlement of young farmers and the coexistence of urban and rural areas,” adding, “We hope citizens will take great interest in consuming local agricultural products.”
