Farmers Market

Doha imports OVER 90% of it's food...90%?!!! Thats massive!!  With the lack of rain (I think it's about 6cm a year) AND the HOT summers of up to (and sometimes over) 50 degrees, is it any wonder that this tiny little country has to rely on outside sources? So we were over the moon to hear about a Farmers Market of locally grown produce...we just had to go and find out and support this amazing project! It is a little out of the way and you can only really buy in bulk, but thats still no excuse to miss this great opportunity and bag yourself a bargain. So off we went a few weeks ago, and again today!

All this yummy food at a fraction of the price that you would pay in the shops!...Lucky me

Just a little update...the Farmers Market currently operates in the winter time, on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday and are open from 7am until 7pm. I am not sure how long there 'winter' period is for. I've attached a map. It's located in Um Salal, just off the expressway/Al Shamal Road, past Landmark and Dhukan. Once you get nearer, you follow signs for Um Salal and follow the little fruit and veg signs which will take you straight there. 

Here is a little map for you too!!
