When I go to a farmers market I want to go home with cheese wrapped in cloth, slabs of meat wrapped in greaseproof paper and tied with string - I don't want shrink wrapped plastic offerings from large retailers.<BR/><BR/>I agree with everything on your post except this:<BR/><I>In a country where many poor people are overweight, you can see that food must be very cheap.</I><BR/><BR/>The problem is that the cheap food in this instance tends to be of the Iceland ready made meal variety, with little nutritional value and far too much saturated fat. Cheap food does not necessarily mean quality food.<BR/><BR/>In saying that, I'm sure I read somewhere that the average food spend these days is 8% of income whereas in the post-war era it was more like 40%.

I ask because I live not too far from where you do and am always on the look out for a good market. If you're interested, there are ones on the last Sunday of the month on Ashton under Lyne's market ground (huge!) and also the second Sunday of the month at Mossley market(that's not very big though).Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14716313521170951363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-52718820714358034812008-07-24T09:32:00.000+01:002008-07-24T09:32:00.000+01:00We dont have a farmers market; not sure I could af...We dont have a farmers market; not sure I could afford it if there was one. I have had the same budget for 20 years. It included food,toiletries, small items such as undies and small birthday presents for parties, bits for Christmas, that sort of thing. There were 5 of us then. It continued to be the same amount when there were 8 of us. Now there are 7, all adults, and this year for the first time I am beginning to have difficulty keeping within the bounds and it is only used for food and cleaning stuff. I have always cooked from scratch and had to use cheap ingredients. There isnt anywhere much left to go except to grow my own, which I am attempting to do when I'm not at work....carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12550769979333248953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-38739542860149690062008-07-23T23:15:00.000+01:002008-07-23T23:15:00.000+01:00We've largely abandoned selling our pork, eggs, ve...We've largely abandoned selling our pork, eggs, vegetables and other produce to the general public. There isn't as great a demand for local produce up here as there is further south, supermarket-conditioned consumers are a pain in the bum, and people want cheap uniform "hygienic" food over our offering (even though it can sometimes be on a par with or slightly cheaper than some supermarket equivalents).<BR/><BR/>Take eggs. We sell 12-15 half dozens a week to friends and work colleagues of the Other Half. Most of the latter live in or near Aberdeen and are the sort of urban professionals who "buy" the local produce message.<BR/><BR/>We also do roadside sales from the croft, have signage out, posters in local shops, etc. In four years we've sold nine half dozens! I know from talking to locals that the handful of people who want fresh free-range eggs keep their own chickens while almost everyone else prefers the cheep, clean and uniform battery egg. The latter think our eggs are dirty, odd sizes, laid in dirty fields, etc. <BR/><BR/>Most of our croft income now comes from selling weaner pigs to other crofters and smallholders to fatten, where the original plan was to have that as a sideline while pork, eggs, fresh fruit and vegetables, and produce were to have been our main income source. (All that value-adding is supposed to increase your returns, but it doesn't work if the market isn't there in the first place.)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and farmer's markets aren't always what they seem. Not everyone is local, not all produce is local and not all of it may be what it seems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-55748741758969981232008-07-23T23:02:00.000+01:002008-07-23T23:02:00.000+01:00hmmm- wish we had a bloke who made cheese at our m...hmmm- wish we had a bloke who made cheese at our market!

I came across it yesterday while looking for proof that backing patchwork pieces with paper isn't actually insane and have spent every spare moment since reading back through the archives. <BR/><BR/>My problem with the local farmers' market is that I can never get to it! It turns up once a month for one day only, and even if I remembered whether it was the first Tuesday it would still pack up and go before I could get out of work. Not fair! I yearn for the days when I was a lazy arts student and lived in a city where the farmers' market appeared reliably every Thursday in the convenient gap between my driving lesson and the 2 o'clock seminar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-50286244533169053802008-07-22T20:06:00.000+01:002008-07-22T20:06:00.000+01:00Not often someone is brave enough to say that food...Not often someone is brave enough to say that food is too cheap but it certainly seems to be or else why would we throw away 30% of it.

Ours is no worse than the local supermarkets for most things and some things are actually cheaper for the equivalents (supermarket free range and "finest" ranges).
