Un po' di storia

Good Market began in 2012 as a grassroots initiative to support local producers and promote sustainable consumption. It started with a small group of vendors and quickly grew into a weekly institution, now held at the iconic Racecourse grounds, a colonial-era venue that adds historical charm.
