What is happening to free range eggs and poultry?
Great eggs are still on our farmers markets every week, but due to government restrictions some changes are currently in place.
Due to the ongoing avian flu outbreak in the UK all keepers of poultry are currently required to keep them indoors. This is to ensure birds are kept safe from this devastating disease which is killing farmed and wild birds around the world. This is tough on the birds and for the farmers that care for them, we all know what lockdown was like!. None of the farms want to keep birds indoors any longer than absolutely necessary, as they would normally all be free range on our farmers markets. Whilst birds are kept indoors farmers are doing everything possible to keep them comfortable including reducing numbers and keeping bedding refreshed more often. As soon as the government allows farmers will let their flocks outdoors again. You can read about the restrictions HERE
If you have any questions talk to the stallholders, email the farms or send us an email. We will update you when restrictions change.

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.
