Farmers´ Markets ~ News & Press Releases

Bags ,Burnham On Sea and Castle Cary!

Somerset Farmers Market are launching our own jute shopping bag which will be available at all of our markets for only £2. Many of the towns which host our markets are already aiming to become carrier bag free and we have long felt that we would like to do our bit.We chose an ethically sourced Jute bag capable of safely carrying everything from eggs to apple juice. The bag has been sponsored by Dyne Drewett and is printed with the dates on of all our markets so theres no excuse to forget !

Burnham On Sea Farmers Market
In April Somerset Farmers Markets added Burnham on Sea to their network of markets.
This market takes place twice a month through June, July and August on the 2nd and last Fridays of the month 9am-1pm in the High Street and gets very busy so aim to be their early!

< b>A new market for Castle Cary
Castle Cary Town Council have invited us to organise a Farmers Market in the historic Market Place building . It will launch in July but it has already generated an awful lot of interest!
The provisional date is 17th July check the website nearer the time for more information.


Would you like to get involved in your local market?
We need a couple of volunteers at each of our markets to help sell our jute bags, run our information stands ,administer e-mail prompts to customers,give out leaflets,put up posters play music etc
If you´d like to support your local market in this way it can be a very sociable way of spending a few hours a month. Volunteers will recieve complimentary vouchers to be used at the market!

If you a want to talk to someone about the Farmers Markets in Somerset or perhaps become a stallholder, you can ring our administrator, Louise Hall. She works on Mondays and Tuesdays, but you can leave a message on her phone at any time. Her phone number is 01373 812 757 and the e-mail is sfm@bakehousecottage.freeserve.co.uk.

One problem we often have is not being able to have permanent signs or banners up on the verges,if any of you landowners on busy highways would be happy to allow us to put up a sign on the edge of your land it would be hugely apreiciated!
