I don't prefer local markets nowadays because it's not safe at all. After COVID19, I often avoid crowded places and I feel that local open markets which we call actually bazaar are not safe for us. Anyway, I needed some home goodies as I am rearranging my home so I had to go to the nearest local market. This local market is known as Peremoha Bazaar which is located at Peremoha Avenue, Kharkiv, Ukraine. You can go there by metro easily but normally I go there by walking.
As I have mentioned before that I needed some kitchen goodies so I went to this local market. Basically, every type of home goodies are available there in fact if you need anything like gardening or carpentry stuff, you will find there. That's why it is known as Bazaar.
This is an open market and very popular among local Ukrainians because of fresh fruits and vegetables. All the goodies of this bazaar come directly from village and most of them are fresh. In fact, you can also buy freshwater fishes from here. Price is cheap than the superstores and every type of vegetables and fruits are available here. You can check the vegetables, fruits, you can pick up of your own and can buy them. Prices are all written there so you just have to purchase according to the measurement.
How I came to know about this Bazaar:
When I came here in Ukraine, I used to stay in a hostel, but I didn't stay there for a long time. My hostel was near this market and one day I saw it because I wanted to buy strawberries. Here, you won't find any frozen goodies, everything here is raw and fresh. This market is a morning market which means it opens at 8 am early morning and stays until 3 am. If you want fresh vegetables, you have to go there between 8 am to 10 am.
One thing I wanna mention here, that is you have to buy everything using cash, no electronic device, or no card payment system so it's quite an unsafe place, especially in this pandemic situation. But as you can see people still go there without using masks. You can also see different types of berries, apricots, and grapes are available.
Basically it's a good bazaar full of varieties of vegetables and fruits...
Also if you are planning to go to the beach, you can buy goodies for the beach day from here...
Anyway, I needed a good kitchen knife, jars, containers and other things from there that's why I had to go there basically. I took all types of safety measurements. I have purchased goodies from here before so that's why I knew from where I have to purchase things. If I wanted to purchase the same things from supermarkets, I had to pay more...
Anyway, this is it for today, see you next time with another new place of Kharkiv...
Love

Nice photos. I used to live in Poland and visited Ukraine a few times. The markets are very similar and cheap with a great selection. I really enjoyed buying straight from the farmers. They were very friendly and enjoyed my Polish. Do they mainly speak Russian where you live or Ukrainian? Ukraine is a lovely country :)
Well, people in Kharkiv mostly use the Russian language but they know the Ukrainian language too. I am an immigrant so I know a little bit Russian language but I don't have knowledge about the Ukrainian language.
Yes, farmer's markets are really good because as you have mentioned they are friendly. They always produce best vegetables and so fresh, to be honest...
Thank you for appreciating my post...
I see. I was able to speak Polish in western Ukraine but still can't read the writing hehe. Can I ask where you've immigrated from? Ukraine is a very interesting country that isn't widely traveled :) I really enjoyed the trains... And the food!
I am from Bangladesh but now staying in Ukraine :)
Hey that's great! Quite a change :) I've only been in Dhaka briefly but spent lots of time in West Bengal in India...
Wow, so you have seen Dhaka, well next time whenever you plan to go to Bangladesh, let me know :)
how are you dear friend @priyanarc good afternoon
It makes a very good choice when deciding to visit a place to do your shopping, without a doubt a space more space is better to stay safe and healthy.
I love these photos that you show us, let us see its amplitude and the enormous variety of things that are sold there.
stay safe dear friend take care
have a happy night
To be honest, I personally feel these types of markets are best for vegetables and fruits shopping. You can pick up whatever you want and you can check the products as well. And one thing that attracted me was the variety, they have a large variety of vegetables and fruits.
Thank you so much my friend for your humble feedback. Do you prefer to go to this type of market for fruits and vegetables?
Yes dear friend @priyanarc, I like this type of marketing format a lot, in Corrientes, my city we have a very similar one, the difference is the size, this is smaller
have a splendid day
Wow, that's really so cool... Maybe when this pandemic situation will be over, you will be able to make a video of your nearest local market. I want to see it... :)
You know that I had thought to make a video of that place, in fact there are several places similar to the one that I would like to present.
thank you very much for the suggestion dear friend
have a wonderful night
I know it's not easy to film in fact I wanted to film this place as well but the situation was not friendly at all.
