New Farmers Market opens May 10th
South Kensington is to get a regular farmers market when it opens to the public in May. Market hours will be 9 am - 1 pm every Saturday. The market will take place in Bute Street, just next to the tube station. A road closure has been arranged for the market by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The Council hope to increase the availability of food on offer to the public in the area and to give a boost to local retailers as the market is expected to attract more shoppers to the area.

Welcome if you're new to farmers' markets.

We've seen a huge surge in chicken buying in the past few weeks. No surprises as to the reasons why.

All of the poultry at our markets are reared in small, high standard flocks and are either free ranging or organic. We inspect every single farm before they're allowed to sell with us and we're proud that you can have total confidence in the food you buy from our farmers.

Contact us at info@lfm.org.uk if you'd like to know more.
