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.

Wow this was an absolute delight to go to last weekend, I can't believe I have lived in Leeds all…read morethese years and never been before. 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!

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.

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.

I'd never been before but know Oakwood well, as I used to work nearby, and it's a lovely little part of Leeds. I love a good market, being a true browser and grazer, and this one is as good as they get. The weather was somewhat fortuitous, the sun shining and filtering through the nearby trees, but come rain or shine these guys come out en force every third Saturday of the month. The atmosphere on this occasion was fabulous, and I realise that this was in part due to the celebrations, but you can't deny the quality of the stallholders that come to this market. For this particular occasion the Foxwood Steel Bandits were playing out to the crowd, and having never come across a steel drum (timpani?) band before it was an incredible experience. If you've not had the pleasure of hearing Sweet Dreams by The Eurythmics by these guys you're really missing out. The market have strict rules about who may attend; only fresh, local and hand reared/made goods may be sold with no mass produced, or craft/clothing items are allowed. It means that the quality of the produce is extremely high, and whilst to a fashion prices reflect this, the point is that you are paying for the best. And, as I browsed the various stalls, the best of the best was on show. From home grown gourmet mushrooms, lovingly made preserves, fresh herbs, quality Indian spices from Asharun, delicious food from Moorish of Hyde Park, hand made chocolates and so much more it's well worth your visit and well worth your pennies. I had a delightful time! I ate a completely delicious, vegan lunch from Moorish, who made up a sort of African bento box for me to devour, and chose some fantastic ice cream from Indie Ices as a dessert. It was utterly creamy, made with fresh raspberries, and was the just the ticket for such a sunny day. If you've not sampled the delights of Moorish or Indie Ices before now, you really should. I purchased some of the home made chocolates, from Cutting Cake Patisserie, for my Mum (as she loved them when I bought some for her at Christmas!) and a gourmet mushroom box for my friend who is a fungi fiend. The entire outfit is a welcoming and friendly group, perfect for families, couples or simply a solo excursion, and I would highly recommend you stop by at the next one! With a cash point just over the road, a number of delightful spots to sit and a bustling community feel this is one of Leeds' finest independent markets.
