Me and the boyf have been determined to buy all our fruit and veg from here because it's yummy and local and they're the only one I know of that accept Bristol pounds. We are starting to juice too and this would be costing a lot more if we were buying from a supermarket. There's something really satisfying and almost smug about buying really fresh, a little bit more grubby and wonky, and a whole lot more delicious produce from the greengrocers! They also do little extra treats like jam and chutney!

Here you'll find wonky carrots, dirty potatoes and odd shaped oranges; just how the come out of the ground (or tree) and how they should be. Gardeners Patch sell pretty much any standard fruit and veg you would want. You wont find too much international out of the ordinary, but you will find inspiration if you're trying to think of a meal to cook. The staff are really nice and very helpful. I asked lots of potato related questions: best for mashing, roasting etc and they were happy to help. I've by a weeks worth (2 bigs bags) of fruit and veg for less than £10 each time I go. They accept Bristol Pounds and 'Text to Pay'

If you love funny-shaped vegetables with the mud still on them, if you love the idea of eating wild boar or pheasant, if you love the idea of Indian food for breakfast, if you love beautifully presented and tasting coffee (for £1.50 a cup), if you love great big lumps of homemade bread, if you love bottled-conditioned beers from microbreweries (£2 a bottle from the Untapped Brewing Company stand) or if you love fresh and authentic falafel, then this should be your destination on a Saturday morning. Yeah, there are one too many people sporting flat caps or dreadlocks or letting little Tarquin run around instead of taking them to get his hair cut, but it's worth it for the quality produce and more than reasonable prices available here.

It has something for everyone, I find there's slightly fewer stalls here but its equally as busy. As ever with farmers markets I buy more cheese than I can really eat and give lots away. Good fresh meat selection and beautiful bread too. Nice to have a place to sit down and have a cup of tea while you take in the atmosphere. Its is open pretty earlier but its not a bad way to start the weekend and you can buy everything you need for the best cooked breakfast on Sunday mornings!

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

From the green and white awning , to the little painted pig holding the open sign and the delivery boy's bike with the wicker basket out front, Young's is as picture card perfect as butchers could possibly be. This continues inside as well with a vast array of old-style instruments and utensils that could be the props department if they ever get round to making Saw XIII: Victorian Punishment 3D. Specialising in pork, the friendly guy behind the meat counter will happily talk you through what's on offer and what to do with it. If you walk in and no one's around ring the bell, as he's probably outback chopping up stuff. It's a tad pricey but you get what you pay for. Four rashers of bacon set me back £2.20 but unlike the rubbish you get from supermarkets, it isn't plumped up with water and doesn't shrivel in the pan to size of a postage stamp. It was also delicious. Young's is a really nice, friendly shop and worth a visit if you ever pop to Llantwit for the day.

I tend to buy basic unprocessed ingredients rather than prepared food so I was pleased to see good quality fish (in clear bags so you can see the contents not just a picture) meat and vegetables. I bought the smoked haddock (2 packs for £5) and they were much better quality than the expensive options from Tesco or Asda and were much nicer than the Lidl ones. Also bought a frozen pizza for our son and was very impressed by the quality it cost £1 and tasted and looked better than expensive ones we've purchased from other supermarkets. Son thought it was better than a Pizza Hut one :) I also bought a pack of 8 seafood sticks for 29p (hadn't had them for years and the price was irresistible) which weren't the nicest I'd ever tasted but once they had lemon juice on were perfectly okay and given the price one can't quibble have spent more before now on similar and had worse. The staff were considerate and polite and welcoming and I think it might have been the manager who noticed us leaving and said goodbye to us! Will be using them again and often. Great quality at pleasingly low prices can't argue with that.

In fact, this is such a permanent and well loved fixture of the Cardiff local flavour, that even when the market is not in session, you'll find a series of fruit and vegetable sculptures in the same spot. These cross sections of cucumbers and apples can be looked through to see the grand Millennium Stadium beyond. If you're a fan of keeping your carbon footprint as small as possible, then this is the place for you. All of the products on sale here are very high quality and extremely local. This is a fantastic way to while away a Sunday afternoon. The only problem is that I'd like it to be larger with a better selection!

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.
