It provides me with the opportunity to stock up on some great organic veg and meat as well as some great jams and local honey. The latter is an essential ingredient in every allergy suffers kitchen... eating honey that is grown locally can diminish the effects of hay-fever as well as a host of other allergies. The fact that the Farmers Market is in the car-park at Arthur John's is an absolute boon! Arthur John's is possibly the best hardware shop in the known universe, and I love visiting it, even if I don't have anything specific to buy. I always come out with a couple of items that I have been meaning to get, but always forget to purchase when I'm on a shopping mission elsewhere. If tools float your boat, this is a DIYers heaven! The prices are incredibly cheap considering the quality of the stock available. The Farmers Market isn't as cheap, but the quality of the goods is second to none! Cowbridge Farmers Market is held on the first Saturday of every month

Whether you are looking for breakfast (serving sausage and bacon baps on the day we were there), groceries (large selection of local meats and vegetables), local cider / beer / spirits or even gifts, this is the place for you.

Also, they also sell flowers, plants and children's wetsuits (of course)!

Highly recommended. Good selection and quality at a great price. Very friendly and welcoming too.read more

Everyone in Bristol sounds like farmers so for a proper Bristolian experience a trip to the city's…read morefarmers market is a good idea. The focus is on fresh food from local producers; its the farmers themselves that are selling you the goods. There's more or less everything you could imagine finding on a farm, with highlights including the various organic meat stalls (v. expensive) and the fruit stalls later in the summer, when you can get some of the recent strawberry crop People know about their goods and love to talk about it. This isn't a supermarket experience and people are keen to have a chat - it's a bit like being in the countryside, funnily enough. It runs on a Wednesday, so if you're working in the city centre (it's based by St. Nicholas Market on Corn Street) treat yourself in your coffee/lunch break and pick up some crusty bread and cheddar cheese. You'll feel much better than you would queueing up with the other suits, even if it does cost a little bit more.

We were not disappointed, this a great little farm shop, they have a great selection of deli items, including jams, chutneys etc and sell loads of nice veggies as well as having great meat counter at the end of the shop. The menu was was simple but did not disappoint, they have a selection of breakfast options as well as salads, ploughmans and a sandwich selection on the lunch menu. We both had the smoked trout, it was on the menu as a terrine however we were told they had sold out but could offer a smoked trout salad instead. It was really nice, the Trout had a really nice flavour, and was served with salad and toast, the waitress bought out a couple of salad dressings and oh my god the spiced mango chutney was Devine. My colleague and I both bought a bottle to take home, I don't think it will last very long. We also had a tea for two which gave us about 4 cups each and was great value for money, tea was served in lovely China which always makes tea taste better! I will definitely be visiting again and next time I'll be taking some more money for some yummy treats to take away! Sorry only got a pic of the sauce as I'd left my phone at home.

I popped in here when I noticed signs for the farm shop/cafe. It's just up the road from my…read moreparents' house where I grew up so being nosey I thought I'd take a peek. It's all lovely round here, so it's a great setting- the farm shop sells a variety of local fruit and veg, plus honey, chutneys and chocolate (made very locally in Newton St Loe). There's a butcher too- all the meat is British and most of it is local. You can also get some very fancy cordon bleu ready meals- and I don't mean the kind of thing you'd see in a supermarket. Plus, always a bonus in my eyes, you can take a load off and sit down for a cream tea, or a lovely piece of cake- seating both inside and outside. Lovely little place, good for gifts and for higher-end farm produce.

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.

They have pick your own fruit (strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, black and red currant) during the summer, and have started raising their own pigs and cattle.

There is also a wide range of tea, coffee, sweets, niche items and seasonal treats to tempt you. They also have a frozen section so you can purchase food to cook at a later date, and seasonal fruits when out of season. The staff are very friendly, and helpful. Children are welcome to help feed the pigs (buckets outside have food for the children to do this) and there is a small play area to keep them busy on a nice day. There are also plants and flowers available to purchase in the front of the shop as well as in an organic section of land behind the shop. It's well worth a trip to visit

They have a really good selection of meats and the meat is particularly well priced. All the top quality food manufacturers are sold here, all quite expensive but then when it tastes so good you only need a small amount. They do freezer meals, but not like ready made tonnes of additives - real food, and their fresh breads are amazing. There is a small cafe selling beautiful cakes and it is well worth a visit.

It was perfect for a lazy, sunny, Sunday. I have to admit I didn't end up buying much apart from bread and cakes, but they did have a huge selection of cheeses and deli style foods across the 30 odd stalls. It also has craft stores and flowers and really, really good coffee. This is probably not the place for people on a budget to do the weekly shop but a great place to pick up some really special ingredients and a fantastic way to spend an afternoon away from the city centre.
