Fresh Beginnings  Hello Zürich Magazine  published September 2005

Shopping for the freshest food may not be convenient, but for many, it is a cultural way of life. The local market is more than a place for buyers and sellers to meet. Markets are cultural centers that erupt with activity for several hours in the morning, then quickly disappear – only to reappear the next day in a new location. The market is a place for friends to gather and gossip, for cultures to mix, and where traditions are shared. The market is where one goes to feel connected to the community.
