Brighton & Hove Vegetarian Farmers Market

Farmers' markets provide many environmental, social, economic and health benefits. These include:

• an opportunity for customers to talk to producers
• bringing a spirit of fun and community back into shopping
• a direct marketing outlet for smaller family farms unable to meet supermarket demands for specified size, shape and quantity
• growers sell direct to the customer so the price paid, even for organic produce, can be lower than from supermarkets
• encouraging organic and environmentally friendly farming
• a reduction of ‘food miles’ and packaging
