With up to 40 stalls there’s a huge range of local produce to choose from including vegetables, fruit, meat, eggs, bread and cakes, fruit juices and dairy products. Most stall holders have grown, bred, caught, pickled, brewed or baked the goods themselves and are based in the local area.
Hexham Farmers Market is a long established market in the heart of the historic town of Hexham in Northumberland. Our producers come from within a 50 mile range of the town and they are all passionate about what they do. They make the products themselves using a high percentage of locally produced ingredients, so the meat you buy at Hexham Farmers’ Market is reared by the producer and the vegetables are locally grown. We have about 25 producers who come to the market on a regular basis.
This is an unusual market in that it takes place on a weekday! Kirkintilloch has the claim to fame of being the first weekday farmers’ market in Scotland.
