Parson's Green

Hello from Parson’s Green farmers’ market! This market is one of 21 run by London Farmers’ Markets. It’s held every Sunday between 10am and 2pm in the playground of New King’s primary school on New King’s Road and is already very popular with locals, having only opened in September.

gorgeous organic veg. If you buy one thing,
make sure it's the spinach!

Every week, 25 stalls fill the playground selling all kinds of wonderful produce. There are six stalls selling high-quality meat including excellent game from Kent and rare-breed poultry from Buckinghamshire, two stalls selling rare varieties of apples, pears and delicious juices, a wide range of outstanding artisan cheeses and organic breads, fresh shellfish and wet fish caught from day boats on the Weymouth coast, irresistible displays of seasonal vegetables from Lincolnshire, tomatoes from the Isle of Wight, as well as milk, cream, butter and homemade cakes, pies, pasta and pestos.

Going along simply cannot fail to put you in a brilliant mood. Buying the food makes you feel good for supporting local producers, cooking it makes you happy and think about where it’s come from and who you bought it from, and eating it is the best of all. It’s an all-round wonderful experience. Over the coming months, I’ll write short pieces about each of the stalls at Parson’s Green market and tell you more about the produce and the people and throw in a few ideas about what to do with fresh ingredients too.

Caption, anyone?
