Farmers' Markets

Farmers' markets have begun to appear in many cities and towns throughout Britain. Today, there are about 350. If you're able to visit one you'll find an array of tempting locally-grown and home-made food and drink, and the great thing is you can actually meet the people who have produced these products. 

The modern phenomenon of farmers' markets took hold back in 1997 in Bath and has since provided a new focus for local food. Members of the public have been drawn to these events as they provide them with the opportunity to support producers and local farmers. 

Some of the best know farmers' markets include Yalding in Kent, Bath, Edinburgh, Orton in Cumbria and Winchester in Hampshire.
