Country Markets are fantastic not only can you purchase the freshest of fruit,veg and plants buy cakes, pastries, jams, preserves, crafts the list is endless, but its also a great meeting place so spread the word. The latest news from Country Markets is they are about to explode onto a shelf near you. Yes you heard it hear first Hello From the Cooks at Country Markets is a new ish initiative that will put all your favourite produce in your local garden centre, village shop, farm shop etc. If you can’t see the Hello from the cooks of country markets logo ask and spread the word.

I attend a number of markets in the Essex region and have seen many develop and flourish whilst some just fade away and die? The secret of their success is to keep customers interested with something for all the family. I attend Gt Garnetts market and the combination of a working farm and great ingredients be they food or craft based has proved to be its key attraction. The majority of people come for the award winning pork and turkey but the craft stalls also provide additional interest. Markets have to provide a diverse range of products to continually draw people away from the supermarkets. Not only do Farmers Markets provide food and crafts but they also provide a positive social impact.
Keep supporting your local market!

I love going to such markets. There’s one that’s held every Sunday twenty minutes away from our house and the vegetables are better than the ones sold in supermarkets.
