The latest news about Dorset Farmers' Markets and its members

Show the list of our forthcoming special markets

All set for Spring at Dorset Farmers' Markets:

Who knows what the weather will be doing when you get to read this, but as I write the sun is shining as it has for the last couple of weeks - a really welcome sight after a long, hard winter.

We know that Spring must be here when Sopley Farm makes a very welcome return to all our markets with their wonderful display of new season asparagus, rhubarb and potatoes - really a treat for us all and as fresh as you can get. Also new to the markets this Spring we have Caroline Drever selling fresh crab, lobster and mussels, all caught off the Weymouth coast; returning to the markets after a winter break will be our plant and flower producers, certain to brighten the markets and full of specialist plant knowledge to help you in the garden.

Dorset Farmers' Markets will once again be out in force next weekend with over 20 producers joining others at the Shaftesbury Local Food Festival on 1st May and again on Bank Holiday Monday at the Blandford Georgian Fayre - do go along and support these worthy events and, eat well!
