Labim Mall, Pulchowk, has transformed into a popular weekend destination in Kathmandu by expanding the farmers, food and eco conscious shoppers into a single open-air market under one roof. This is becoming a trend that is transforming the manner in which individuals in the city relate with food, sustainability, and the local culture.
Hub of Freshness and Sustainability.
On Saturdays and Sundays, the outdoor area of Labim Mall transforms into a colorful marketplace with stalls of fresh and organic products, products created locally, and artisanal food. There is something to offer to the visitors including fresh vegetables directly picked off the Kavre and Dhulikhel farms, home-made soaps, honey, dairy products and the traditional Nepalese snacks.
Not only does the event help local farmers and small scale entrepreneurs, but also promotes the concept of sustainable urban living – people should purchase locally, eat well, and minimise waste.
🍞 More Than Just a Market
The special feature of the Farmers Market is its vibrant environment. Coupled with food and produce stands, pop-up coffee bars, food sampling, and artisan crafts are also present. Coming to spend moments together, have brunch in the local cafes, and listen to live music of local musicians.
It is not merely shopping but a communal thing where people get to know each other, exchange ideas and get enlightened about ethical and organic shopping. There are also numerous stalls with sampling sessions that provide the visitors with an opportunity to taste fresh bread, local cheeses, or herbal teas and then purchase.
