Acle farmers' market aims to connect local businesses, such as producers and processors, to their buyers; helping to get great organic food to the general public. The benefits for both communities and the environment are vast; in buying from our farmers market you are supporting the local economy.
Members of the Nether Edge Neighbourhood Group host and organise this local
quarterly market. It is organised entirely by a small group of local residents and volunteers in Nether Edge, Sheffield. The market is hosted in the months of March, June, September and December each year with seasonal touches for each event (e.g. Santas Grotto at the December market).
Put simply, we founded Loddon Farmers' Market to enable local farmers to sell their products direct to you so that they get a fair price for their work and that you get fresh, high quality food at an affordable price. Local growers and producers take personal pride in the food they bring to their Farmers' Market and want you to enjoy it. The emphasis is on freshness, quality and value for money. We encourage sustainable methods of food production. We support traditional animal breeds and heritage fruit and vegetable varieties.
This is a big farmers’ market is located in County Square, next to Gilmour Street station, so just ten minutes by train from Glasgow’s Central Station. Now running twice a month, and recognised by BBC Good Food Magazine as one of the best in the UK, the market brings together up to thirty producers offering specialities such as Ayrshire hill lamb, Limousin steaks and West Coast seafood. Cookery demonstrations by leading chefs such as Nick Nairn are a regular feature.
On the second Sunday of every month, you will find a wide range of stalls in Loughton High Road, selling a range of foods direct from the producers. The market is held 9am - 3pm, opposite The Last Post. Residents have been delighted that this regular space gives them the opportunity to meet each other.
