Farmers' Markets

There are a number of independent farmers' markets taking place in the borough, however the Council's Markets Service has no jurisdiction over these.

There are three golden rules that should apply to a genuine farmers' market. They are:

producers must be local, defined as within a specified radius of the market (normally 30 miles)
producers must sell their own produce. Bakers etc must use a minimum of one local ingredient
the person behind the stall must be the producers, a close family member or an employee directly involved with production, allowing you to ask questions about how it was produced.
