“Association of Farmers’ Markets” is an organisation run by citizens of Prague. More than a decade ago a group of citizens of Prague worried by the lack of local food markets in the city gathered together and started organising a number of markets. Today, they run four biggest farmer’s markets in Prague, offering quality products from local markets. These are: Jiřák in Prague 3, Náplavka in Prague 2, Kubáň in Prague 10, Heřmaňák in Prague 7.

See, the association’s website where you can find information about the dates when the markets are taking place each month!
