Shop Local: The Best Farm Shops In Zurich

You can't imagine how excited I am about cucumbers, tomatoes, salads, and all the fresh vegetables that can now be harvested. Although a trip to the supermarket is more convenient I try to shop not only seasonally but also as locally as possible. And the best way to do that is directly where the vegetables grow: on the farm.
