Bridport Country Market
Looking for the tastiest preserve to have with your toast in the morning? Or the best cake to share with your friends and family? Or how about the freshest, most flavoursome joint for your Sunday lunch? Come and find it, plus much much more at the Bridport Country Market every Saturday morning at the WI Hall, North Street between 09:00 and 12:00.
We sell cakes, savouries, preserves of many flavours, organic meat, veg, eggs, plants and crafts all homemade by our co-operative of producers who all live within a maximum of fifteen miles from the market, so we are especially local to you, making our food miles very low. Our plants will thrive in your garden as they are right for the soil conditions of your area. Our vegetables are picked and packed either the day before or in some cases on the morning of the market. Our cakes and savouries are all baked fresh for the market just the way you remember your gran making them!
We can also produce tailor made products just for you. A special cake, for a birthday or anniversary or an old favourite in preserves, we can adjust a recipe to your requirements, so if there is an ingredient you don’t like or your body can not tolerate, then we can produce something just for you. None of our cooked items contain any preservatives or colourings and as they are freshly made can be frozen. We can also produce a hamper with a selection of our produce chosen by you, for that someone extra special. Just come and talk to any one of our helpful and approachable producers directly at the market.
What about becoming a producer? Do you have a bit of spare time in the evenings, or during the day, and a passion for producing something homemade? It can be as much or as little as you like. All it takes is five pence to sign up and become a member. Come and talk to us!
