Farmers markets in Worcestershire area:

As an aside, if you can find a local farm shop I'd recommend using it. The produce is so much fresher, and it's a lot cheaper than the supermarkets (as long as you don't mind your produce being seasonal).

There is a fantastic one in Stroud, Gloucestershire on a Saturday morning, been running for years. Stroud is one of those towns that is very Green?Fairtrade etc etc - I believe it was one of the first towns to hold a regular farmers market.

Well worth a visit to the southerly part of the Cotswolds, not an area thats normally in the guide books but very beautiful........i am a bit biased having lived in the area for years.

I agree. There's nothing tastier than fresh fruit 'n' veg and even better when you know it has been grown locally
