Feriköy Organic Market
Excitement was in the air when we found our way to the Feriköy Organic Market. Set up in the Şişli Municipality Car Park near the Uğur Center in Bomonti by the Buğday Association for Ecological Living (Buğday Ekolojik Yaşamı Destekleme Derneği), every Saturday from 7am to 5pm organic farmers and stores sell their wares under the covered garage and nearby tarps set up to shield from rain and sun.
Shoppers can find everything from organic, seasonal produce to organic honey, bread, cheese, and other dairy products to organic cosmetics, detergents, and bath products at the various stalls. As in any weekly market, a tea and gözleme (the Turkish equivalent of a quesadilla but stuffed with kaşar (a salty hard cheese similar to kaseri), potatoes, or spinach, or a combination of all three) stand also take their place under the tents -but everything is organic, of course.
Other organic markets organized by Buğday take place in Kartal, Beylikdüzü, and Bakırköy, but for those who are centrally located, the one at Feriköy is the top choice. Şişli Belediyesi Otopark, Lala Şahin Sokak, Bomonti Caddesi, Bomonti
