SG Farmers’ Market Goes Virtual – Enjoy a New Farmers’ Market Experience!
Good news, fans of local produce! SG Farmers’ Market is back, this time virtually, and just in time for Chinese New Year!
Given the growing popularity of the physical event, Singapore Agro-Food Enterprises Federation (SAFEF) had originally planned to organise a series of SG Farmers’ Market events in 2021 to continue our efforts to promote local produce from Singapore farms, and encourage consumers to buy local because it’s fresh, safe, reduces carbon footprint, and boosts Singapore’s food security.
As we don’t want anyone to miss out on our SG Farmers’ Market events in 2021 due to COVID-19, we’ve replaced the physical events with virtual events and will be holding our very first Virtual SG Farmers’ Market events just in time for Chinese New Year!
When & Where Will Virtual SG Farmers’ Market Be Held
Not one but TWO Virtual SG Farmers’ Market events will be held just before Chinese New Year (CNY) on Facebook Live at www.facebook.com/SAFEF2017 on:

- Saturday, 6th February 2021 from 9am to 12.20pm (1 weekend before CNY)
At these events, participating farms will be livestreamed at half-hourly intervals, and you’ll be able to order fresh local produce from the farms starting from 9am to 1 hour after each event ends, and have the produce delivered from the farms to your doorstep the next day.
