Seasonal Fair in Petrozavodsk: an overview of prices and range

In Petrozavodsk, an agricultural fair unfolded. The shopping rows took their usual place on the Fair Square (the intersection of October Avenue and Engineering Street). You can attend the event daily from 9 am to 7 pm until October 13. This year, more than 80 farms and manufacturers presented their products.

Despite weekdays, the square is crowded: popular tents line up queues. Many buyers come here purposefully to "their" sellers, with whom I have known for many years.

What for?

Honey. The choice is huge: from local Karelian to products from Bashkiria, Mari El, Krasnodar Territory. The price range is significant - from 750 rubles per kilogram (Kuban flower) to 3000 rubles for elite varieties. We advise you not to rush to buy and study the offers throughout the area.

Meat products. Vilgov meat is in demand: calf pulp costs 1150 rubles / kg, spatula - 930 rubles, pork ham - from 480 rubles. For connoisseurs of delicacies, marble beef from the Sortaval district (1500-1800 rubles / kg) is presented, when buying large cuts, sellers are ready to yield in price. Meat from the Megrega Plemsovkhoz is also popular, but a queue is usually formed behind it.

Fish. Sortavala farmers brought fresh catch: trout (from 750 rubles / kg), perch (400 rubles), pour (250 rubles), ragweed (240 rubles) and bream (170 rubles). In addition to fresh and slightly salted fish, there are many smoked meats in the assortment, as well as budget barrel herring.
