If there’s one good practice that the epidemic has forced many to adopt, it's that people are now accustomed to ordering products from smaller domestic producers instead of large chains. This allows shoppers to support Hungarian farmers, and help create and maintain a more environmentally conscious supply chain. The fruit and vegetables are delicious and, best of all, seasonal!

Farm2Fork
Agricultural engineer
Boldizsár Horváth was previously involved in production at the Csoroszlya Farm
in Szár, then switched to the logistics side with Farm2Fork. In addition to
retail orders, the aim is to connect Hungarian small producers with top
restaurants (SALT, Hilda, Rosenstein, Arany Kaviár), to introduce the farm-to-table
approach as widely as possible, which is based on the freshest flavours and as little
transport as possible. In addition to what’s on the shelves of the zero-waste
shop, you can pick up domestic fruit and vegetables from three other locations
in Budapest.

Itt a szezon
This is like a village local who
tells you where, what and from whom to buy. Fresh fruit and vegetables, often
sold on the day of picking, are delivered to your table from controlled farms as
part of a limited but seasonal range. On the site, you can choose from
home-processed, finer-than-delicious fermented vegetables, spreads, jams and cordials,
grouped according to producer. Favourites include the smoked trout and other
products by Igazgyöngy Alapítvány in Tahitótfalu, which go to support a good
cause. You can pick up your order at several locations around Budapest at agreed
times.

ne pazarolj
Born from the idea of two childhood girlfriends, this store focuses on
the issue of waste-free households. Currently, you can not only consume

Farm2Fork vegetables, various seeds and flours in package-free containers, as
well as children’s books and environmentally conscious kitchen utensils. Other
local products are also free of chemicals and additives, and do not contain palm
oil. The variety at this shop by Bem tér is constantly being added to.

Szatyorbolt - Pest (Closed)
The Szatyorbolt network has been operating in Budapest for more than a decade. This year, goods are being delivered by bike to four collection points in Budapest, reducing the carbon footprint. On offer are quality domestic food and ingredients for cooking, but you can also order pre-prepared packages at fixed prices, depending on the season. In addition, you can choose from a variety of environmentally conscious cosmetics and cleansers made from natural ingredients. You can also support a children’s camp run by Szatyor by buying a basil plant.
