Farmers' Markets
There is a network of Farmers' Markets across the Shropshire Hills enabling you to purchase locally produced food throughout the year. The prices compare well with supermarkets and the freshness is beyond compare!
By buying locally produced food and drink you are supporting small-scale, environmentally friendly farming practices, so helping to conserve and enhance the landscape. You can also visit www.shropshirehills-buylocal.co.uk to search for local produce, where to eat and stay in the Shropshire Hills..
