Description
Farmers Markets encourage us to return to buying from local
producers - farmers, butchers, bakers, fishmongers - not only out
of nostalgia but as a way to find the best quality food and service
around. The produce on sale is diverse: from fruit and vegetables,
meats and dairy produce to wine, jams, chutneys, pies, herbs and
even speciality rare breed meats. The produce has all been grown,
reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked, smoked or processed on
local farms.
The added incentive to shop at a Farmers' Market is quality of
the service. The producers are experts of their own produce,
offering information on ingredients and advise on the best way to
cook and serve the produce. They can even suggest some recipes to
try!
But remember, all produce is locally grown and harvested in
season, so don't expect strawberries in December. You will,
however, find the most flavoursome, highest quality food delivered
by local producers who want you to enjoy their foods.
Chester's Farmer's or Regional Produce Market features produce
from all over the North West and takes place on the 1st
Wednesday in every month outside Chester Town Hall between 10am -
4.30pm. |
