Local Producers
There are many opportunities to directly support food producers via farm shops and the farm gate.
With a mix of fresh and cooked food, there is a regular Saturday and Wednesday market, as well as a monthly Vegan Market and Farmers market with stalls from local producers like Tamarisk and Washingpool Farm.
