Crediton Farmers' Market |
| A True Taste of Devon on the first Saturday of every month |
| Home
|
Held on the first Saturday of every month between 10 am and 1 pm, 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, pottery,
cards and herbs, and with virtually all stallholders
living less than 5 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 most, and the result is one of the finest farmer's
markets in the county, a fact recognised by the readers
of Devon Life magazine who recently voted Crediton Farmers' Market
Best Market of the Year
for the second time in three years. We aim to make shopping a social, community occasion: come down to the market and enjoy a cup of Fairtrade tea or coffee, soup from local ingredients, or a locally-produced and freshly-cooked hotdog or bacon butty, or just some locally-grown fruit whilst meeting friends (chairs provided!)
We try to provide entertainment whenever possible, from local individuals or
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.
If you are a producer who would like to join the market, the criteria can be found on the Guidelines page. A full list of criteria and an application form can be downloaded at the bottom of the page.
