We like

Rather than a regular links page we thought you would like to hear about all the things we like that are related to farmers' markets and local food.

We like getting to market early so that we do not miss the limited supplies of foods that are rare of have a short season, so the first of the season purple sprouting, or limited supplies of ox tail. Ask the managers for the inside knowledge.

We like getting to market late, for those last minute deals and cut price offers.

We like SUSTAIN who campaign on food and farming issues and really support the local food sector

We like April as winter is truly behind us and asparagus appears on the farmers stalls.

We love freshly picked cherries that appear on our markets in July.

We like the Capital Growth project that aims to establish 2012 food growing spaces in London

We like the following restuarants and cafes who use local farmers from the markets as suppliers:

Handmade Food - Blackheath, Duke of Cambridge - Islington, Konstam - Kings Cross.

We like to cook and for that you need great recipes. One of our favouite food writers / chefs is Allegra Mcevedy

We love Common Ground; an amazing charity who started Apple Day in the UK and run the Campaign for Local Distinctiveness.

Food Cycle does an amazing job collecting unsold vegetables from our markets at the end of the day. Their volunteers then create fresh healthy meals for people affected by food poverty.
