We've been going to the one in Beaconsfield for a while - very good - somethings are pricey, but if you shop carefully, and bearing in mind the quality, it's pretty good...4th Saturday of each month. Also, a Farmers' market has just kicked off in GX - 2nd Wednesday of each month, I believe. It looks pretty good (and deserves support to keep it going!) |

West Common, I think it's called - go through GX towards the A40, and it's just after end of the row of shops on the RHS.

Dan and I went to the Beaconsfield Farmers Market last Saturday. It was
excellent. We spent loads of money but I felt that all the products
were priced fairly. We ended up with a 4lb gammon! (So promptly spent
the entire weekend eating it).
I also bought a few bottles of wine. I thought that £5 a bottle was very reasonable and as I was able to try them before I bought them I know I have wines I like. Dan was very pleased to be able to get proper Sourdough bread. I would definitely recommend it. (I really wanted to buy one of the hand weaved baskets but could not think of where I could put it in my flat!) |

Glad you liked it - we also got a gammon,
and venison sausages, fabulous tomatoes, mock-parmesan cheese, and
loads besides...always a good lunch after having been to the market....

Sounds like we bought the same things! We got the venison and redcurrant sausages, the Farmers Hand 'Italian Style Cheese' and loads of other stuff!

I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems scary and weird.

I used to go there loads - haven't been for months though. I love it - especially the parmesan and the hand made crisps. Breads are good too and the apples from somewhere over Oxfordshire way.
The only thing I am not too clear on is that i thought farmer's markets were only open to local producers - ie those working in a 30 mile radius of the market. Not sure how Isle Of Wight Tomato growers qualify as locals! |

I went to the GX Farmer's Market yesterday and very good it was. I got lamb, sausages, bread (sourdough available DanW) and vegetables and could have got cheese, eggs and trout. There was even a car park made available on a patch of green just past the residential home in East Common. Sadly no crossing available to get over Packhorse Road. I'll be going again.
