By Maddy, March 19th, 2025
Maddy, a Master’s student in Integrated Food Studies at the University of Copenhagen, joined Grønt Marked for a winter 2024 internship as part of her academic Project in Practice. Originally from California, where farmers markets are abundant, she was drawn to Grønt Marked’s vibrant community. Throughout the season, she created and distributed a survey to gather valuable feedback for the market’s future development, while also assisting with setup, selling coffee, and supporting the team. Despite the winter challenges, the community spirit kept morale high through festive Christmas markets. Maddy reflects warmly on the experience, feeling grateful for the connections made and looks forward to returning when the markets reopen in May.

Defying industry monopolies, this family-run artisanal dairy embodies Denmark’s heritage of quality dairy. In a world dominated by large producers, their regenerative dairy practices and handcrafted cheeses stand out as a beacon of conscious farming. Regularly present at Grønt Marked, they exemplify how small-scale producers can thrive while embracing values of sustainability and craftsmanship. From their distinct goat cheese offerings to holistic grazing methods, they prioritize both animal welfare and exquisite taste.

Have you ever wondered what goes into running a farm that not only produces organic vegetables but also adheres to principles of non-violent farming?
Join us on a journey to Brinkholm, a Danish farm that’s not just a place of cultivation, but a reflection of its owners’ values, ambitions, and a spiritual connection to the land.

As a small-scale, low-impact regenerative farm, there’s an inevitable synergy then between
Søagergård’s produce; primarily eggs, pork, milk, and honey.
As Marianne explains, “The bees make
nectar from the clover flower, and the clover fields provide nutrition for the cows… and with the
cows eating the taller grasses and the chickens scratching the ground eating insects, they all have
different effects in terms of how they ruminate”.

As he walked me around his farm in Denmark’s Central Zealand, I interviewed Adam to find out about what he does at Planteskolen Evigt Liv.
He told me how he believes in doing things differently in order to contribute to a world where farming follows the cycles of nature, and mitigates the release of greenhouse gases, all the while enhancing the beauty of the landscape and the diversity of our diet.

In this article, I compare the nutritional benefits of organic and regenerative ingredients bought from the Grønt Marked to conventionally produced ingredients purchased in the supermarket. I do so through the lens of a Danish classic: a flæskesteg sandwich.

An ode to the Grønt Marked
By Daiva Saffron Friedmann, March 1st, 2024
I’ve written a poem, as an ode to this market:
From soft to squash,
The escalation of the dirt’s offering,
Hands fosterings,
July Strawberries laughing themselves to tears.
Because we’ll wake up on sundays
following
Matching the seasons,
Becoming practice
Again.
by Minka, January 30th 2025
My journey with Grønt Marked began serendipitously about a year ago. While biking around Copenhagen, I stumbled upon the market in front of Lille Bakery, on Refshaleøen. I was immediately captivated by its charming setup, featuring stalls brimming with local delights and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Solbjørk, Camille and Ann-Sofie from Orupdal Jordbrug are the driving force behind the regenerative farm that has been a steady presence at Grønt Marked since their start earlier this year. Graduating from the regenerative agriculture school, they set up a field on Solbjørk’s parents’ horse farm just outside of Lejre and transformed the land into their own small-scale farm.
Article: What is a food system?
by Ema Kosova, July 29th 2024
“Beyond the basic steps of production, processing, distribution, and consumption, many other elements shape the food we eat. Take the last chocolate you ate: its path from cacao pod to the perfect square was not a given.”

The first night, farmers market organisers from over forty countries met before being promptly whisked to the Vatican for an aperitivo. No expense spared, there was a full offering: entire wheels of parmesan; zucchini flowers; and sparkling wine.

The CICERO project is the Citizens & Communities for European Right to quality and local Food. The project is a collaboration between Grønt Marked and four other organizations located in Croatia (Association of Croatian Markets), Italy (Fondazione Campagna Amica), Poland (Fundacja Targ Pietruszkowy), and the Netherlands (Stichting Rotterdamse Oogst).
SLOW FOOD STRAUPE
Seventeen years ago, the Slow Food Straupe Earth Market began as a local women’s initiative in Latvia. Now the only Earth Market in the Baltics, it brings together diverse local producers on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month. During our visit to this picturesque market 70 kilometres from Riga, we experienced traditional Latvian dishes cooked over open fire and local specialties from fresh rye bread to quince jams.

FAQ
We believe all farmers should have the possibility to sell at a fair price directly to the consumers – at the same time, consumers should have access to fresh, seasonal, local and healthy food. In this sense, Farmers Market are an important step towards connecting local farmers and end-consumers, cutting out the middleman. Moreover, Farmers Market are places where to build relations – they contribute to creating a transparent food-shopping alternative where human connection and community comes first.
Local, Seasonal and Sustainable grown veggies, fruits, mushrooms, grains and flowers. Ethical and Sustainable animal produce such as eggs, cheese, milk, meat and charcuterie. Processed handcrafted produce such as vinegars, spirits, jams, ferments etc. made using local and sustainable raw materials. For more info, please feel free to check our guidelines.

A community made by farmers, volunteers, friends, colleagues and believers – each one ready to support the project and contribute with their skills, enthusiasm and great ideas! Read more about the origin of Grønt Market and the team right here!
We don’t do events. Farmers Markets are not an event for entertainment, but a regular monthly or weekly appointment for people to buy their groceries. The main goal is for producers to sell while establishing connections and for consumers to buy good and healthy food while learning about our food system. In order to guarantee successful markets, the focus should always be on the farmers and their produce.
All the producers take MobilePay & cash. Some of them also accept cards.
We suggest you bring your own bags from home. Most producers use reusable or no packaging when possible. But cheese & juices are sometimes in plastic. All the producers use biodegradable materials to wrap produce when up to Health & Safety standards.
Grønt Marked is an open air market, so there are no covered areas.
