Farmer Talk & DIY Activity - Introducing Shifang Organic Tea Garden and DIY "Cold Brew Tea"

What's good to drink in the hot summer? Now the market has a new friend - every Saturday Soda Skin will offer different varieties of natural fruit soda water. It's so delicious you can't stop, and friends who tried it last Saturday all said it was great and it sold out in no time. If you want to drink it this Saturday, friends, you'd better move fast!
This Saturday's offering: made with organic green plums, using the methods of winemaking and enzymes. It has already fermented for two weeks. Like a first-fermentation wine, the fruit aroma is rich, round and gentle. Soda Skin only has this one barrel. No more. Friends who want to taste it, this year this is the only chance. After it's gone, you'll have to wait until next year's green plum season.

The market is reducing plastic, sincerely seeking clean secondhand bags
Water Garden Market has been promoting being plastic bag-free for quite some time, and the results have been quite good. Grateful for all friends' joint response; almost most old friends will use their own shopping baskets or shopping bags. Therefore, we hope everyone can donate clean secondhand plastic bags and paper bags that are not used at home to the market, avoiding constantly using new plastic bags while letting plastic bags that have only been used once become unemployed. We hope plastic bags can not just shine once, but can continue to shine and radiate warmth until the day they retire. And this long-term task needs everyone's help~~
Market business hours every Saturday 11:00-17:00. Welcome to donate clean secondhand plastic bags and paper bags to the market's service desk!
