Farmers Market

Farmers' Markets give the public the opportunity to buy fresh, quality, seasonal, local foodstuffs and other produce i.e. plants, from local farmers and producers. No middlemen are involved.

What can I buy at a Farmers' Market?

In addition to Granstead's non-alcoholic drinks, you can expect to find seasonal vegetables, fruit, meat, dairy produce i.e. eggs and cheese, plants, flowers, jam, chutney, honey, fish, wine, cider, apple juice and much, much more at a Farmers' Market. In the run up to Christmas, lots of the nurseries that attend Farmers' Markets sell Christmas trees and holly wreaths for your front door.

Farmers' Markets are environmentally friendly!

Since all the food is local the produce hasn't travelled hundreds of miles on a plane or on the back of a lorry.

Packaging is kept to a minimum because most of the produce has come straight from the farm to you.

The produce is seasonal, so not only is it fresh, you know that energy has not been wasted keeping it in storage.

Farmers' Markets support the local economy

Farmers' Markets help to provide local jobs and sustain local services.

Local farms and small businesses benefit

There are no middlemen involved in Farmers' Markets - all the produce at the Markets is sold to you direct by the people who either grew, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked, smoked or processed the produce.
