Open the second Sunday of each month from 9-2 (they advertise opening at 8, but nothing is really…read moreopen until at least 9) Great selection of locally produced food and produce! You can find everything from brilliant pies (Raven's Den in particular), awesome cheese (Lincolnshire Poacher and others), fresh veggies (Earthworks and others), fresh fish and meats... not to mention cupcakes and other sweet treats! We usually start by getting a coffee for the husband from the vendor with the mobile coffee bar (the machine is in the back of his van), and then wander the markets and end at the Merchant for a cup of tea for me. As long as there is a rainbow biscuit on the way even our toddler is happy.

We visited this market recently and really loved the energy of it. There are the traditional tents…read morefilled with fresh fruits and veggies; but there are also tents with beautiful clothing, luggage, handmade items, etc. I'm traveling the world with just a small backpack, so I'm not doing much shopping these days, but the food items I bought were fresh and delicious. I loved that everything was put in paper bags, not plastic. I read that the market has been around since the 9th century, which I loved knowing. A short walk down the hill brings you to beautiful neighborhoods with cobblestone roads and the huge cathedral. It's a lovely area overall.

This Farm is very hit and miss. Over the years I've enjoyed their produce and service. However,…read morerecently they sold me old vegetables intentally and charged full price. I returned to complain and wasn't offered an exchange but got a 'part' refund because we tried some of it (how do I know it's horrible and not fresh if I don't try it) Owner came across stingy and uninterested. We spent more money on fuel then driving back to complain. Very disappointed on the service and our family won't be returning.

The Farmers' Market is a relatively new initiative which brings local produce to Oxford's shoppers…read more There's a great range of food such as free range meat and dairy produce, home-baked cakes and locally produced jams and honeys. There are burgers and other food items cooked on the sight, so you can eat while you wander, and it's ideal if you're looking for good, honest food without the stress of supermarket shopping. The stallholders are mostly friendly and keen to chat about their produce, and prices are reasonably compared to health food shops and similar. A great thing to support that adds to the traditional feel of the more independent aspects of Oxford shopping and makes the big town seem more like a local farming market.

If you go right at the end of the market you can also pick up great bargins on various products especially the fruit and veg when everything is being sold off cheap (eg 4 mangoes for a pound!)

Loved Borough Market!

On my recent trip I tried a couple of oysters, picked up some tinned fish to bring back and went to the duck/anchovy shop to grab anchovy and crab butter along with some little pots of mustards to try. There's really everything here from the most delicious spelt risotto to fresh seafood, paella and lobster. It can definitely get crowded on weekends but that's part of the fun.

This is one of London's oldest markets located in Southwark. Located at the foot of London…read moreBridge,this market has been operating at this location since 1756. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed! It was hard to see all the various vendors as some of the food lines were really long, especially for the fish and chips. There is very limited seating in the market so we elected to eat outside of the market as there are many restaurants and pubs in the area. From spices,olive oils and a variety of food choices, this market is a must visit when in Central London.

Brilliant day out, very reasonable price for entry and food for the animals. £3 for each of us,…read morewith 3 bags of food which was 3 for £5. Bargain! They offer meat as veg deliveries to a 15 mile radius free of charge if you spend £20 I believe, with selection hampers an option. The part I liked most is they have some man made bug homes so you can see the little creatures as well. Had lunch in the cafe which again was a very good price for the quality. I had a pulled pork sand which which was the best I'd eaten for a long time. My wife had egg mayo which equally she said was one of the best she'd tasted on lovely fresh bread. The farm itself is very large, a good selection of animals to look at, feeding for pigs, cows and chickens. My 3yr old loved it. Highly recommended!!

The service is excellent and they will order things for you if you want something they dont stock. There is a post office, without the usual queues in post offices nowadays. The cafe is excellent value for money, good service, local home baked foods, yummy cakes and desserts, cooked foods or a simple sandwich, (freshly made, with salad and crisps on the side). The cafe is very popular but not noisy. I am disabled and this shop is a godsend as I cant walk around big shops and supermarkets but I can get most things here.

Peterley Farm was an important part of my childhood and it still is! Pick Your Own farms should be…read morein everyone's lives because it is so much fun and great value too. You feel like a hunter-gatherer trotting along with a few plastic punnets in search of strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, spinach, peas, carrots and many more. I am not condoning it but it is virtually inevitable: a significant proportion of delicious fruit doesn't make it into the punnet and takes a little excursion towards your mouth. This is part of the fun. I distinctly remember us coming across a humongous duck-shaped strawberry the size of my child-sized fist and it being one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. All the legally obtained fruit is weighed in the farm shop (for cheaper than at the supermarkets) and you can also buy a much wider range of organic fruit and veg, honeys, vinegars, bread and eggs, even organic freezer meals. Next door is the garden centre brimming with flowers and hanging baskets. Now there the new summer Wild Strawberry Café in a charming yurt, decked out with higgledy piggledy chairs and tables, pots of herbs, mismatched crockery and a distinct Great British Bake Off feel. The food was excellent with a tasty lunch menu and an extensive range for brunch. We got a pulled pork burger, crab cakes and a courgette frittata, lemonade, elderflower cordial, and freshly pressed apple juice (with a range of different apples to choose from). The crowning glory of this meal was the meringue and passionfruit curd cake. I am going to go great efforts to attempt to replicate this cake because it was so good.

This is a working farm as opposed to a farm which has opened a shop selling, in the main, products from elsewhere. Here they use as much of their own produce as possible..check their home-made pies, cakes and puddings? Find yourself a table facing the busy kitchen and watch them being made? Very friendly atmosphere. Personal, attentive service and quality assured at all times. There is even an onsite artisan florist!
