Local Producers
Nick Phillips and Chris Gasson of Chideock Champignons
As well as the regular Saturday market stalls from some local farmers (Tamarisk) and market gardeners (e.g. Springtail, Washingpool), there are many opportunities around Bridport for direct support to the producer via farm shops and the farm gate. These include Washingpool Farm, Modbury Farm shop, Bothen Hill farm gate (Fridays 9-12), Tamarisk Farm (Tuesdays 4-6.30 and Fridays 8.30-11), and Felicity’s Farm Shop.
Springtail farms do veg box schemes, as does Bridget’s grocery.
Meet some of our local producers: Springtail Farm and Chideock Champignons.
Bridport hosts a monthly Vegan Market and Farmers market.
