Delicious local food is available at the Farmers Market. Junction of Whiteladies Road and Apsley Road, and outside the Redland United Reform Church. 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, lots 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, game pies, chicken 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 and delicious olive oil bottled locally through a family link with Greece. There are usually plants as well, including herbs and fruit trees. 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 an important step on the way to rebuilding local networks of food production and distribution. Support the market and help it to grow, and tell all your friends about it too.
