where customers can buy local produce direct from local farmers,
growers and producers using locally grown and raised ingredients
where possible.
Our markets are a venue for
local specialties, traditional apple juices, a stunning selection
of mouth watering cheeses, seasonal fruit and vegetables, fresh
herbs, top quality meats and dairy produce, freshly baked bread
and home made cakes, garden plants and much much more. Some markets even have
quality local crafts.
While you're at the market, visit the popular Farmers' Market Information Stall , where you can pick up seasonal recipe sheets, more information about farmers' markets nationwide and enter our monthly competition to win a bag of farmer's market goodies.
Our specialty producers and growers
will be happy to tell you how your food was grown, and how you can
prepare it and cook it when you get home.
