Farmer's Markets in Colchester
More and more people are starting to question where their food actually comes from. The growing issue of "food miles" - the distance food travels from field to plate - and how what we buy affects our environment is ever important as fuel prices continue to increase. As a result, local Farmer's Markets are growing in popularity and are an excellent place to buy locally produced food.
How does it work?
Local farmers and producers man their own stalls and sell food that they have produced themselves. Giving you an opportunity to chat to the farmer himself about the conditions his animals are reared in and how he grows his crops. By buying direct from the producer and not from a supermarket, you also cut out the middle man meaning prices are often cheaper.
What can I buy?
Farmer's Markets offer a huge variety of produce ranging from meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, jams, honey, cakes, bread, flowers and much more.
How can I find out more?
