January – June Dates 2013

Thank you email

Your local food page (http://www.skettsfarmersmarkets.co.uk/links.html)
is a great resource!  I coordinate an after school youth program and up
until our holiday break, we’ve been collecting material for a
sustainable food guide we’re putting together.  Several of my young
members found your references very helpful and I just wanted to extend
our many thanks!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all our farmers’ market traders and customers.  Markets resume on Thursday 3rd in Oxford – the January schedule is on the website.

Having woken up to snow last week, battled with the floods the week before (please see our latest blog www.camillaandroly.blogspot.co.uk <http://www.camillaandroly.blogspot.co.uk/> ) it has now turned bitterly cold and we are feeding the ewes some hay which they are happily munching.  The boys are taking a well earned rest away from the ladies and we look forward to meeting Basil’s offspring . . . join us for an evening in the lambing barns and so could you!

Thank you for all your custom and support this year and we wish you all a very Happy Christmas and New Year.  We’re looking forward to our new member of the family arriving in the New Year and then it will be lambing time before we know it!

December’s farmers’ markets – ideal for Christmas gifts

December’s farmers’ markets are great hunting grounds for Christmas gifts and stocking fillers – local jams, honey, chutneys and confectionery make ideal stocking fillers.  Check the calendar for your local market.

Apologies – Birmingham, Priory Square markets not taking place

Apologies to anyone who turned up today expecting a farmers’ market in Priory Square.  Last minute problems with terms and conditions have made it impossible to hold these markets.  Things will be back to normal on January 16th.
