Seoul residents will be able to enjoy fresh produce starting this month with several farmers' markets scheduled to offer produce in different parts of the capital.
The farmers' markets will be open in five locations around the capital including Gwanghwamun, Malli-dong Square, Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway and Namsangol Hanok Village.
The markets will operate from Sept. 1 until the end of October between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
A market will be open on Wednesdays and Thursdays at Guui Park, Sundays at Gwanghwamun Square and Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway, and Saturdays in Namsangol Hanok Village and Malli-dong Square.
More than 150 agricultural products will be on sale from 70 cities and districts.
The produce is expected to be 10 percent to 30 percent below regular market prices.
Apart from fresh fruit and vegetables, there will be activities such as booths for making kimchi and cheese and roasting sweet potatoes.
Special sections will offer Chuseok gift sets and seasonal goods.
