Farmer’s Market to return

 Great news for everyone who enjoys paying £3.50 for a loaf of bread today, with news that the highly successful Farmer’s Market is returning to Prestwich.

The inaugural Prestwich Farmer’s Market took place last month during the Prestwich Festival, and it’s fair to say that the place was swamped with shoppers looking for fresh, local and organic produce. I was there myself, and ran home with a ton of meat and veg and bread. And I intend to be there again come Sunday 23rd August. The Market is on then at the Longfield Centre between 9.30 and 2.30.

Hopefully it will be just as popular and enjoyable as last time, with lots of late summer goodies to pick up from the stalls. There are also plans afoot for a third Market around Christmas time, and there’ll be details of that when they’re confirmed.

So mark the date in your diary now and remember to pop down to the Farmer’s Market! Another great sign that Prestwich is getting better!

    Er… why is it “great news” for people who enjoy paying £3.50 for a loaf of bread? Surely the Farmers Market is not that expensive???

    Now - for people who DON’T like paying the aforementioned £3.50, the opportunity to pay exceptionally reasonable prices for local produce, sounds like a great idea!!!

    Shome mishtake, surely?

    Unfortunately the jovial tone of my post appears lost in translation… Ah well.

    The farmer’s merket is on the pricey side. But then it is also on the high quality side. You pays your money and you takes your choice, as a passing Victorian tramp might say.

have your say
