Winslow supports local producers with Farmers Market launch

Winslow Market Square will shortly be home to a thriving new farmers market.

The market will be launching on Sunday, 6^th September and will then run regularly on the 1^st Sunday of the month between 11am and 2pm. 

Located in Winslow’s Market Square the market will feature produce grown or made within a thirty-mile radius, including rare breed meat, locally-grown vegetables, home-made preserves and local honey. 

The Farmers Market is a joint initiative between the Winslow Chamber of Trade and Winslow Town Council, supported with a grant from LEADER programme, an exciting new source of funding for local farmers, foresters, rural business and community organisations.

In addition to the market there will be free activities and local shops and cafés will be open, offering a fantastic day out for all the family. There is free car parking a short walk from the Market Square. 

Local retailer, Helen Knight of Delicatessen Estrella comments: “Research among local shoppers has shown that they want to buy quality produce from local suppliers.  We had a fantastic reaction from our customers to the idea of a farmers market and an equally strong interest from local producers.”

Farmers Markets are recognised as a huge support to local retailers and also to maintaining local shopping communities.  Local independent retailers will be open for shoppers while the market is in progress, including Beautifully Different (Accessories), Delicatessen Estrella (Food & Wine), No 8 (Women’s Fashion), The Gallery (Gifts)  and Brook Hall Cookery School (Food and Cookery Merchandise).
