Supermarkets may be doing good business but many smaller producers are even happier to receive your order and deliver their goods to your home. Those craving fresh produce can have it arrive at their own doorstep and, in the meantime, help local farmers get by during this challenging period. Order fresh vegetables, fruit, eggs, dairy products, smoked meats and more. Here are some of the options to choose from.
Only order as much as you need and leave stuff for others, as the producers assure everyone that there will be enough to choose from later, too. By selecting just enough to last a week, we can make sure that our products stay fresh, while others have the chance to get what they need.
Gyümölcspláza offers an abundance of fruit and vegetables, with everything from potatoes to rare exotic fruit and they even have toilet paper to deliver. They deliver all around Budapest and suburbs, and orders should typically arrive the next day.
