After some posts on the Farrow&Farrow thread and the goose request, I wondered if this was a good idea for one? Keep it in one place and maybe give ideas as well. I was thinking just edible produce but maybe other goods as well, or perhaps another thread for those? So, I'll kick off with a request for locally grown fruit/vegetable stalls that have regular pitches.

The stall outside Gregs presumeably sells produce bought at a wholesalers, right?

The Wild Boar man that used to go to the local farmer's markets was all lined up to supply us before a significant change in his life which closed that lead forever. Anyone know of a really good, not-mucked-about-with pate, perferably from Hertfordshire? Preferably from a small producer.

Much of the fresh produce at Pearce's farm shop on the A10 just north of Puckeridge is sourced locally in season.

How much would you require on a weekly basis, just out of interest?

Does this let you off the hook?[;)]

quote:I've started using that stall regularly since I now get back from work in the afternoon rather than evening - I definitely recommend it. The guy has a great selection of veg and can tell you where it's all from (assuming you can understand a word he is saying [:D]). Pretty cheap as well, last time I was there I bought 6 spuds, a broccoli, 4 leeks, a cauli and a bag of sprouts for £2.20. Not sure how this compares with supermarket prices for veg as I haven't bought supermarket veg for ages, but it seems pretty reasonable to me. He also does rabbit, pigeon, pheasant, partrige etc.

Is Reg the Veg back?? Last time I went up there he was in hospital. My prior visit was amazing. He didn't have enough change and told me to owe him a pound for two iceberg lettuces. Must go back and pay him.
