Love Your Local Market

Friday 12 May to Saturday 27 May 2023

Love Your Local Market is a campaign, run by NABMA, which celebrates markets across the UK. Shopping at your local market means more choice, value, variety and individuality – as well as knowing you are helping your community thrive, supporting the environment and simply helping out new start-ups & small business owners!

It is important to highlight the significant role markets play in our towns and communities, so remember to show your local markets some love!

MID DEVON’S MARKETS

Dotted across our countryside landscape you will find traditional farmers’ markets and general markets.  Meet the farmers that grow the food and connect with ingredients at their source.  Find out about where your food comes from, what variety it is as well as cooking and recipe tips.

Discover the sensational flavours and quality fresh produce on offer. Organic vegetables, seasonal fruit, free-range eggs, luxury cheeses, handmade juices, ciders and preserves.  Not forgetting fresh fish and meat, (including lamb, beef, pork, venison and alpaca) as well as yoghurt, ice-cream and sometimes even raw milk are all available. You may also find real bread, pies, cakes, ready meals, soup, as well as herb or veg plants.
