We are back in the swing of things with Swiss Cottage farmers market having already reopened and all our Saturday and Sunday markets reopening this coming weekend on the 6th and 7th January.
Our South Kensington lunch market at Imperial College will reopen on the 9th of January and our Bloomsbury lunch market will reopen on the 11th of January.
In season through January
Game is still in season. Our game stalls will be able to give you tips on how to cook pheasant, partridge, wild duck, pideon, venison, boar etc. Many game stalls have cured and sausage meats too.
This is the time for beetroot, celery, celeriac, kale, kholrabi, parsnips, sprouting broccoli, swede, sprouts and sprout tops, turnips, red and green cabbage, Jerusalem artichokes, and more. All good for hearty winter stews. If you do or if you don't take part in Veganuary where better to get your veg than direct from the farm?
Stored apples and pears will still be avaialable and foced rhubarb will come onto stalls this month.

Rain, rain, go away.
Traditionally the month of May brings the sunshine and not the showers. Someone should tell it! We still have a lot of rain in the forecasts and farmers in parts of the country are struggling to harvest waterlogged fields.
No shortage of fresh veg at the markets though from crisp greens and radishes to sweet spring onions and asparagus. Be sure to get your hands on some new season strawberries as they start to make an appearance - there's nothing quite like their unbeatable flavour and aroma.
