Organic markets

Fresh food free from the bad stuff
Word to the wise: Many locals rise early to bag the freshest produce, but you needn't – new supplies arrive in the middle of the day.

Berlin knows how to run a good market and has its fair share of dedicated organic ones, not just confined to food, but also handmade clothes and gifts. Kreuzberg's Chamissoplatz (Sat: 9am - 3pm) is perhaps the most famous, having sold everything from nuts and fruit, to wine and coffee for 20 years.
Leafy Kollwitzplatz, however, is the chic option (Thu: 12noon - 7pm, Sat: 9am - 4pm) with expensive, high-grade produce popular with the local families, whose kids run amok in the playground while they enjoy the hot punch or a glass of wine in one of the neighbouring cafes.
