Woerden is thé main Farmers Market Town of the Green Heart of Holland.

Discover the country life in the city and in the countryside. Visit the Farmers Cheese Market, the modern Kaaspakhuis (cheese warehouse) and the annual Koeiemart (Cow's Market). Throughout the year, there is also a regional market at Kerkplein (church square).
