The Food fair or more acurately Farmer's market is held on the 3rd Saturday of the month. it is…read moreheld under the banner of Made in Cumbria. there is an interesting range of foodstuff on offer. Bread, Meat, Fish, Mexican food. My favourite stall is Posh Pickles who do jams from fruit from this country, mango chutney and all sorts of pickles. This month I bought Lemon Grass and Ginger Jelly. their Caribbean Marmalade is to die for. The man with the Mexican food stall, does gorgeous Cornbread. He saves a loaf for me each month, because my friend is alergic to wheat. The latest improvement is cornbread with sultanas in it. The bread stall has types of bread which I had never heard of. my favourite is her Walnut loaf, 2nd her Date bread. The meat is sourced from north Cumbria. Occasionally one of the local breweries bring a range of their bottled beers. Even if you don't buy much the market is fun to visit. I'll update this if the stalls change.

Stalls start at the bottom of the old yard and continue up with many being undrrcover. There are plenty of meat stall a few bakery type stalls along with fresh fish. Only 1 cheese stall. There are a few places to grab snacks although gluten free is extremely limited. The one place I expected to find gf was the Indian snacks but it appears they buy in so contain wheat!. Overall worth a visit and pleasant morning out if not raining. You also get to see the outside of the tower

Unpretentious farm shop with a good range of produce. It has been extended relatively recently and…read moreoffers a broader range of stock than it used to. However it is still predominantly a vegetable shop and although it now sells sausages and bacon it doesn't have an extensive butchery department like some farm shops. However what it does it does well. A good variety of veg, lots of it local including potatoes that still have some soil on, hurrah! They aren't slavish to the local theme though and also supply more exotic fruit and veg from further afield. They also supply chutneys, sweets, posh crisps, jams, pastas, rice, milk, cream, and the wonderful Cartmel sticky toffee pudding. There's a great selection of local Lancashire cheeses including Dewlay cheeses from just down the road and also good quality cheese from elsewhere in the world such as feta cheese and mozzarella. Along one wall there's a large selection of bird food and feeders which ties in with there being a small gardening section alongside the shop. All in all a great farm shop which offers fair value and a good variety of stock without erring too much towards garden centre style overpricing.

I didn't actually believe that anything substantial, let alone good, could take place in the small rose garden outside of the bar, The Arc, in Headingley. It just looked too small. But when I went last weekend it was like the space had magically morphed and increased in size! There were stalls selling organic vegetables, fruit, cheese, local wine, local meat, cakes, bread, Indian food, eggs, even a stall selling plants from a nursery in Pudsey. They had some pots of raspberry stems but I was on my bike so I couldn't get them home. Fortunately, I got their card and might pop along during the week to pick some up as they were a good price and I know they will work on the allotment as they have been grown in Leeds. Besides the market stalls there was a live band! This made it for me as usually at farmers markets you want to linger a bit but once you've made your purchases can't really find a reason to but the band was the perfect Saturday morning entertainment. If you haven't been down you better give it a go!

With stalls selling tasty organic vegetables, free-range eggs the size of your palm, fresh fish and meat, artisan cheeses and a whole host of seasonal, local treats, this market, held the second Saturday of each month, turns the weekly shop into a day out in its own right. There are always plenty of free samples to taste, and with each purchase helping to support local farmers and keep your food miles low, stuffing your face has never felt so good!

On the 4th Sunday of every month the Lark Lane Farmers Market takes place. It is set up at the…read moreAigburth Road end of Lark Lane and curves round onto the paved area of Aigburth Road. There is always an excellent mix of stall here selling produce such as sweets, plants, coffee, cheeses, specialist sausages, specialist meats, beers, smoothies, cakes, black & white pudding and much much more. Many of the stalls have free samples to try and the smell that emits from the market is delicious. The produce on sale is often more expensive than you would find in supermarkets but this is to be expected. The produce is of an excellent quality and you wont find many of the specialist items in supermarkets at all. This is a great addition to the Lark Lane community.

Drinkers mill about with students - presuming there's a difference between the two - and "dedicated followers of fashion". What a perfect place for a farmers market. This market, held on the last Saturday of every month, is bigger than its counterpart in Woolton Village, although it does suffer slightly in comparison as half of it is on the edge of busy Aigburth road. A great plant stall selling lovely and unusual bushes at very decent prices greets those who enter the market from Lark Lane. The kind of stall Woolton is missing out on. There's myriad cake and bakery stalls selling pasties, pies, pastries and bread and the ever present Savin Hill Farm meat stall, which sells sausages presumably butchered in Heaven. Last time I went, today (28 August), there was a fantastic flower stall with some of the sunniest sunflower bouquets I've ever seen for a mere £3. A very good place to visit every now and again, but it rarely changes, which is a shame.
