Saltaire Farmers' Market takes place on the promenade in Roberts Park on the second Sunday of every month. It's actually quite good, especially if you have some idea of what you're looking to buy. Local producers and makers sell meat, fish, vegetables, cheese, both sweet and savoury baked goods, and a range of preserves, local honey, pickles, sauces, juices. There are a few more exotic foods like olives and Japanese rice creations, and high class (rather expensive, but delicious) chocolates. You can get coffee and snacks, and browse a range of craft and gift items.
The man on the Wharfedale fine cheeses stall didn't object to having his photo taken, though he was acting about!
I quite liked the detail in Richard Burel's paintings, colourful collages of local places with many recognisable landmarks.
That cheese stall would be my first stop!
ReplyDeleteI like the colourful paintings, too.
What fun. It's the black puffy coats which caught my eye in the first photo...they are so universal! I remember my granddaughter having met friends at my son's home, and all 13 of them owned a version of a black puffy coat. It must have been fun to figure out who's was who's when time to leave for their outing.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that is. It looks a bit chilly though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine market! I'd love to try some of the cheeses.
