There will be lots of delicious local and fair trade food available at the next Whiteladies Road Farmers and Fair Trading Market. Plus teas and coffees, burgers, live music (weather peritting) and some special attractions. It is the first and third Saturdays of the month, 8.30 to 2pm, at the junction of Whiteladies Road and Apsley Road. Put the date in your diary and make it a priority. Forget your list, the drive to the supermarket and your credit card. Come with an open mind, plenty of cash, and some stout shopping bags. The market is also close to lots of excellent shops selling local food, so take advantage of shops and the market all in one trip. We have a regular bunch of traders who get up at crack of dawn and come and set up their stalls for the morning. There is a beautiful range of delicious locally grown fruit and veg, wonderful bottled apple and pear juice, fantastic pork pies, sausages, pies, poultry, eggs, a wide range of excellent cuts of beef, pork and lamb, across a range of price brackets, tasty home made jams and chutneys, farm made crumbles, fruit pies, vegetable pasties, mouth-watering cakes and breads, unique local cheese, handmade chocolates (sometimes) and delicious olive oil bottled locally through a family link with Greece. There are usually plants as well, including herbs and fruit trees (at the right time of year). The stallholders try and use as little packaging as possible, and are happy if you return any fruit punnets, and chutney jars for reuse. The market is all about delicious real food, from local networks of food production and distribution. Support the market and help it to grow, and tell all your friends about it too.
