Farmers' Markets

Markets Management

You can be sure that the markets will deliver the aim of helping both rural communities and town centres during the coming year.

More than ever, Farmers' Markets are good for farmers, rural communities, market towns, the environment, your health and your taste buds.

As usual, there are three golden rules that should apply to a genuine Farmers' Market. They are:

• Producers must be local, defined as within a specified radius of the market (normally 30 miles)
• Producers must sell their own produce. Bakers etc must use a minimum of one local ingredient
• The person behind the stall must be the producers, a close family member or an employee directly involved with production, allowing you to ask questions about how it was produced.

Wem Farmer's Market is open from March to December and the times are 9.00am to 12.30pm.

The Council does not directly organise any farmers markets.  However the contacts for those who do are detailed below.
