The farmers at Huedin Farmers' Market are typically tanned, a result of long hours working in the mountainous climate. Smoking is a common sight, a lingering habit from years past. When it comes to refreshments, Ursus beer is a popular choice among them. Ursus, which means 'bear' in Latin, is one of Romania's oldest beer brands, originating in the Transylvanian city of Cluj-Napoca. The brand has a rich history dating back to 1878 and is known for producing a variety of beers, including lagers and pilsners, that have become part of Romania's drinking culture.
Around the central streets of the Huedin market, especially on market days, a bustling trade unfolds with makeshift stalls popping up everywhere. Here, you'll find an eclectic mix of items for sale, extending far beyond fresh produce. Second-hand goods are abundant, offering everything from worn clothing to used shoes. These makeshift stalls become a thrifty shopper's paradise, reflecting the vibrant and diverse needs of the local community.
