To celebrate the 50th anniversary of London's New Covent Garden Market, the market's vendors donated fresh vegetables to the animals at London Zoo. Gorillas Alika, Effie, and baby Venus, along with pygmy hippo Amara, enjoyed a special vegetable breakfast. The market, originally in Covent Garden and now based at Nine Elms, supports London's food supply with fresh produce, selling to high-profile clients like Harrods and Michelin-starred restaurants. Chairman Gary Marshall reflected on the market's heritage and its importance to London's economy, while market authority head Wanda Goldwag emphasized its commitment to future sustainability and community service.
