Liliomkerti piac, Farmers market in Káptalantóti, Hungary.
Liliomkerti piac is a weekly marketplace in Káptalantóti with stalls selling fresh vegetables, fruits, homemade preserves, bread, and regional specialties. Vendors also offer locally made cheeses, traditional meats, and handcrafted goods produced in the surrounding area.
The marketplace was established in 2007 to revive direct sales between local farmers and consumers in the Káli Basin region. This reopening reconnected producers with people who wanted fresh goods straight from the source.
The market's name, Liliomkert, means "lily garden". Stalls sell lavender goat cheese, mangalica pork products, oven-baked bread and cold-pressed oils, while antique dealers and a second-hand book stall also set up on the grounds. The owner, Ildikó Harmathy, conceived the market, which now provides a livelihood for many local families.
The market is held in the Káli Basin in Káptalantóti, on land registered as farmland, which has caused regulatory difficulties since its founding. Visitors should expect a rural setting with stalls spread across the field. The site includes antique dealers and an antiquarian bookstore alongside food producers.
The market regularly hosts live music and cultural events that go beyond simple shopping. These gatherings transform the space into a social occasion where community members connect.
