Let them eat turnips

There’s been plenty of news about empty shelves in supermarkets but who wants to eat out of season cucumbers when there’s turnips to be had at your local farmers market! And obviously not just turnips, there’s piles of delicious winter vegetables, apples and much more waiting for you. Ditch the supermarket this weekend and come and eat the seasons.

What's not to love? We love shopping from our favourite stalls at Leytonstone farmers market.

If you're thinking about spoiling your loved ones or want to spoil yourself, how about an early Valentines Day breakfast in bed?

We all have our favourite breakfast grub. Grab your bacon and eggs from the market. There may be new season rhubarb at Teds Veg to create a compote and spoon over a pile of pancakes or waffles. Or a simple farmers market breakfast of fruit compote, with yogurt from Bradfields Farm Dairy. What about a breakfast mimosa using delicious fresh juice from Brambletye, instead of orange juice. There's always a great selection of bread (French toast anyone?) and breakfast pastries and croissants from The Dusty Knuckle, Bread Bread and Artisan Foods.

Enjoy the market this Sunday.

Thank you for supporting your local farmers market during the heatwave, your custom is much appreciated.
Many of our farmers are really struggling; here's an update from Brambletye Fruit Farm;
''Not sure how we are going to continue growing, but the soft fruit is ripening faster and smaller then normal, some berries are cooking on the plant.
The vegetables are wilting and bolting in the field.
The grass for the animals is brown and dead leaving them to eat their winter food
The apples have long since stopped growing and are being sunburned like everyone else.
The bees are just waiting for rain so plants start flowering again
Part of our neighbours field caught fire yesterday thankfully the firefighters where very quick to stop it spreading and safe most of the crop and surrounding landscape.''
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
