A new producer’s market will be starting in Sedbergh, in Joss Lane car park, in 2007. Markets will be held on the last Wednesday of each month from April up to and including October. There will also be 2 special Saturday markets in May (Sedbergh Gala) and August (Sedbergh Charter Market).

Why local?

There are many benefits to buying your food and craft products locally - economic, social and environmental.

Fewer food miles - less pollution and fresher produce.
Support for the local economy - local spending and local buying gives the community stability, safeguarding and creating jobs.
Traceability - following recent food scares, the provenance of food is becoming more and more important; local produce means local accountability.
Seasonality - buying local produce in season ensures freshness.
