Delhi shoppers filled stalls at city farmers markets on 10 July with bags of fresh okra and bottle gourd as vendors noted a 30 percent rise in footfall compared with the same week last year.

The clean eating movement has gained ground in Delhi since the end of the winter running season, when residents who trained at Lodi Garden and Nehru Park began seeking steady supplies of nutrient-dense produce to maintain energy levels through the humid months.

Two spots stand out for consistent quality. The weekly Green Market operates every Saturday morning along the western edge of Lodi Garden, drawing early buyers before the heat builds. A second option runs daily near AIIMS at the edge of Safdarjung Enclave, where small growers from surrounding districts bring crates straight from the fields.

Seasonal choices at current prices

Market records from the first week of July show spinach selling at Rs 25 per bunch, ridge gourd at Rs 40 per kilogram and mangoes from nearby orchards at Rs 60 per kilogram. These figures come from the Delhi Agricultural Marketing Board price sheet dated 8 July 2026.

Buyers at both locations also find fresh turmeric root and curry leaves in good supply, items that local nutritionists link to seasonal immunity support.

Next steps for shoppers

Arrive before 8 am at either site to secure the best bundles, then store leafy greens in breathable cloth bags to reduce waste. Residents can check the same board updates each Monday for price shifts and new arrivals as the monsoon progresses.
