As of January 2023 we are having a break from running the market, we would like to thank our customers and producers for all their support over the years.
Old details of what we used to do
We offer local, sustainable produce with all the convenience of online click & collect shopping. Order online through the website then come along to pick up your fresh produce at our weekly collection on Thursdays, 6-7pm, come rain or shine in the playground at Primary Studios, Seely Road near Canning Circus. Alternatively, you can have your produce delivered within 8km, and we also offer a box to boot service for any customers in need.
All sales are in advance through this website which minimises wastage as all the food producers know exactly how much to prepare.
4 Reasons to shop this way, other than the taste:
1. Support Local Businesses - 90p of every £1 you spend stays in the local economy. The producer receives 80% (often as little as 20-40% from the supermarket!).
2. Quality - all producers are carefully vetted. Our producers understand that the care they give their ingredients, land and animals results in quality produce on your dinner table.
3. Less Packaging and Waste – we are big on reusable/returnable packaging from egg boxes, to glass bottles we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste and plastic. As all food is pre-ordered there is no food waste at all.
4. Local Food for Local People = Low Food Miles for Healthier Communities and a Healthier Planet.
