The aims of Crediton Farmers Market are to promote local and seasonal produce and enterprise, to increase farm incomes to a level which better reflects the value of the product, and to provide a focal point for the local community.

Held on the first Saturday of every month between
10am and 1pm, Crediton
Farmers Market takes place on the new market square in Crediton which was designed
and built with the market in mind. With a wide range of organic and
conventional produce available; including meat, fish, seasonal fruit and
vegetables, dairy products, cakes, plants, apple juice,
cider, preserves, pottery,
cards and herbs, and with virtually all stallholders
living less than 10 miles from the market, Crediton has
one of the most local farmers markets in the county. Although we do have to occasionally look further afield in order to keep the
market as fresh and interesting as possible produce does not travel more
than around 30 miles at the most. The result is one of the finest farmers
markets in the county, a fact recognised by the readers
of Devon Life magazine who voted us the
Best Farmers Market of the Year for the third
time.We aim to make your visit a sociable and community occasion as well as a vibrant shopping experience. Come down to the market to shop and also enjoy a cup of Fairtrade tea or coffee, soup from local ingredients, a locally-produced, freshly-cooked hotdog or bacon butty, or some locally-grown fruit while meeting your friends. Chairs provided! We try to provide entertainment whenever possible from local individuals and organisations - local school choirs are a regular feature - as well as supporting local community initiatives, such as the drive for Crediton to achieve Fair Trade Town status. This award was conferred on the town at the market in recognition of our support. We also support the Plastic Bag Free Crediton scheme and hosted the launch party. If you are a producer and would like to join the market,
