Town Centre Media Release

These are the latest media releases from Fareham's Town Centre manager, circulated separately from Fareham Borough Council's press releases. 

February Farmers' Market

There will be a Farmers’ Market in Fareham’s West Street from 9am to 2pm on Saturday 6 February 2010, so you can make sure that you are fully stocked with good local food to feed the family over the weekend.

Up to 40 local producers will be selling the best of their produce directly to customers - everything from freshly picked organic fruit and vegetables to free range eggs, from fish from local waters to rare breed meats, from home-baked bread and cakes to the honey made from local bees.

Sample before you buy from the people who actually produce, and taste the difference in quality whilst supporting your local farming and rural community.

Editors Notes

1. Fareham Town Centre Management has been organising and managing Farmers Markets in West Street Fareham since 1998.
2. Fareham Farmers Markets are operated on the first Saturday of the month, all year round, and create an environment where consumers and producers are brought together.
3. At Fareham Farmers Markets, all produce being sold must have been grown, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked or processed within the ‘local’ area.
4. Every endeavour is made that the producer, or someone directly involved with the production of the goods, will sell the produce themselves.
5. The definition of ‘local’ is normally within Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, or within 100 miles of Fareham if there is no suitable local producer of a given product.
6. Preference will always be given to the most local producer when a space becomes available at the market without compromising quality.

This information will be updated when a new Town Centre media release is published.  For details of any previous Town Centre media releases please contact the Town Centre Manager on 01329 236100 or e-mail towncentre@fareham.gov.uk.
