Farmers Markets

More and more people are becoming uncomfortably aware of the additives and bulking agents that the corporate food industry puts in almost everything it produces in order to boost profits.

In the past though, an alternative wasn't easily available. The giant supermarkets put many small grocer's shops out of business and if you weren't fortunate to live within a reasonable distance of a farm shop, it could be difficult to find fresh natural produce. At the same time many small farmers and producers were looking for a way to sell their produce directly to customers with the result that the Farmer's Market was born.

They are now becoming an increasingly popular way to shop for non GM and additive free produce. Even if the produce isn't always organic, it will usually be from a local producer with a readily identifiable route from production to sale.

I've listed a few farmer's markets below together with links to their websites where available.

Before you travel any distance to a market, it's always worth checking to make sure it hasn't been cancelled.
