Petersfield farmers market at Market Square

10:00 AM Sunday 5th of July 2009

At a Hampshire Farmers’ Market all produce being sold must have been grown, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked, or processed within Hampshire or ten miles of the border. The producer, or someone directly involved with the production, must sell the produce themselves and no bought in produce is allowed. The intention is to allow smaller local producers an outlet direct to the public enabling them to become less reliant on wholesalers and supermarkets. All 14 Hampshire Farmers’ Markets have been certified to the National Farmers' Retails and Markets Association (FARMA). This means that the markets have been independantly inspected and recognised as achieving the standards required, including working closely with Trading Standards and Environmental Health.
