Welcome to farmersmarkets.net -
the only directory of inspected and genuine farmers' markets in the UK! The
National Farmers' Retail & Markets Association (FARMA)
independently inspects farmers' markets to make sure they're the "real
deal." Read on below to find out why our Certified farmers' markets are
special.
Farmers' Market of the Year 2009
Brigg and Moseley farmers' markets win top award!
Two farmers' markets this year share the
crown of FARMA Farmers' Market of the Year. Brigg Farmers' Market in
North Lincolnshire, won the title of Rural Farmers' Market of the Year
2009, while Moseley Farmers' Market in Birmingham won Urban Farmers'
Market of the Year at the FARMA Awards Ceremony in November.
The judges were impressed
that within just eight years of trading, Brigg farmers' market has
revitalized the heart of this picturesque town centre, working across
the community to establish a far-reaching reputation for quality and
local foods.
The judges also felt Moseley farmers' market to be an exemplary, community
focused event. It is large and lively, regularly featuring more than
50 producers selling some excellent quality produce, and has become
a monthly meeting point for an average 5,000 people in Birmingham's
innercity suburbs.
What is a farmers' market and what makes them special?
A farmers' market is a market in which farmers, growers or producers from a defined local area are present in person to sell their own produce, direct to the public. All products sold should have been grown, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked, smoked or processed by the stallholder.
FARMA, the National Farmers' Retail & Markets Association indipendently assesses and certifies farmers' markets round the country to make sure they're the 'real deal' so you can be confident you are buying the freshest, most local produce possible, supporting your local community and economy, and helping the environment by reducing food-miles. Look out for the certification logo below!
