Farmers Markets are making a comeback as people are buying more locally-produced food, drink and fresh produce.
They are more interested in the provenance of their food, knowing what they’re putting on their plates. Talking to and getting to know the producers they meet.
In Dorset the Farmers Market can be found in Poundbury & Shaftesbury on the first Saturday in each month, at Bridport the second Saturday, then Sherborne on the third Friday and Wimborne on the Saturday.
Local farmers, cheese makers, fish stalls, vegetarian food producers, bakers, fruit and veg, as well as artisan craft producers. Stalls manned by the person who has farmed, made or created what is on display.
A community based venture that started trading in 2004 the Dorset Farmers’ Markets have grown and now looking for new stallholders, to offer an even more diverse range of local produce guaranteed to have been locally sourced.
