Word: Greenmarket
Definition: A "greenmarket" is an open-air marketplace where farmers sell fresh farm products, like fruits, vegetables, flowers, and sometimes homemade goods. It’s a place where you can buy food directly from the people who grow it.
"I love going to the greenmarket on Saturdays to buy fresh vegetables and local honey."
In more advanced contexts, you might discuss how greenmarkets support local economies or promote sustainable farming practices.
While "greenmarket" primarily refers to a marketplace for farm products, the prefix "green" can also mean environmentally friendly or sustainable. However, this would be a different context and not directly related to the marketplace itself.
There aren't specific idioms or phrasal verbs that directly include "greenmarket," but you might hear related phrases like: - "Hit the market" (meaning to go shopping at a market). - "Buy local" (meaning to purchase products from local sources, which is often the case at greenmarkets).
A greenmarket is a wonderful place to find fresh, local food while supporting farmers and enjoying the outdoors.
