Fresh, local, seasonal food

At Thames Valley Farmers' Markets you will find the very best seasonal produce, a dozen or more varieties of British apples, meat from rare breed cattle, local cheeses, interesting and unusual vegetables, mostly produced within a 30 mile radius of our markets.

Come to our farmers' markets for a taste of good wholesome food supplied directly from local producers!

Meet the producers

Worried about the latest food scare? Want to know exactly how the food you are about to eat has been treated and handled? Come and talk directly to the people involved in the production of delicious local food. They are passionate about what they do, can give you great tips on how to cook their produce and will be delighted to offer 'tasters' to tempt you.

"A visit to a farmers' market is a genuine pleasure in our busy lives. Not only are unrivalled freshness and flavour on offer, but thrown in for good measure is free information on cooking, storing and provenance, friendly faces, cheery banter and abundant enthusiasm. Farmers' markets put the fun back into shopping."
