LOW WASTE PRODUCE MARKET. AN ALTERNATIVE TO YOUR WEEKLY SHOP.
Whether you work all week, work all weekend or care for another individual - thinking about what you eat, and where it comes from, has to fit around your schedule. Whether we like it or not, attitudes have changed in Britain over the last few decades that have created a disconnect between shopper and the food they are purchasing.
Our 'busy' lives and shrinking budget allocation for food is pushing us towards mass retail at unsustainable prices (for both shoppers and producers), often grown in unsustainable ways, with vast waste and use of packaging.
As much as we try to shop 'local' ourselves, the above could not be more true - we find ourselves having the time to do a 'weekly' shop in the evenings, usually on a week night - and at times when the local green grocers or butchers are no longer open. Now, this is obviously not true for everyone - an urban individual keen to support smaller retailers can nip out in the lunch break - but as a rural dweller and worker, this isn't quite as easy - incongruous as this may sound. Surely being surrounded by agriculture, we should be the ones who can get our hands on the produce the easiest, and have the closest connection to it.
Come along to our monthly market and you'll find everything you need for a weekly shop (and pop stuff in the freezer so you have it for longer!) - from fruit + veg to bread + brownies, all of the basics and a treat or two...
Please remember to bring your own shopping bags + containers.
Incentives for those who walk or cycle.
Please car share where possible- limited parking (more parking for off road vehicles)
