First Farmer's Market at The Fold
The Worcestershire Farmers’ Market Group set out its stalls at The Fold, Bransford this Sunday.
“It was great to have held our first farmers market and we had a steady flow of people through the morning coming and buying some great local produce.”
Local food is core to a sustainable way of life and Farmer’s Markets represent one practical way of bringing the community directly in contact with farmers and growers and the produce that is available at the time.
“As a society we have become so accustomed to eating all types of fruit and vegetables all year round we have lost touch with local seasonality and the fantastic pleasures found from eating what is available here and now,” suggests Will Tooby. “Savouring new season varieties as they come on stream keeps us in touch with our sense of place and who we are which we easily loose in this over globalised world.”
Local violinist Arthur Bancroft from Suckley entertained visitors with lively tunes at lunch-time in the Fold ecoCafé, and everyone was in good spirits despite the less than perfect weather.
Many thanks to everyone who came along and here’s looking forward to the next one on Sunday June 29th.
