Lewes Farmers Market Celebrates its 25th Year

Twenty five years ago Lewes Farmers Market started out with three pilot markets. At that time Lewes was a trail blazer with only one other Farmers Market in England. Today Lewes Farmers Market continues to provide exceptional local food, is a fun place to shop, supports local businesses, and has stuck to its principles of environmental protection, high animal welfare standards, and minimum food miles and packaging.

What is at the market

Our producers will have fresh eggs, honey, hand crafted cheeses, local apples and plums, organic fruit and vegetables, organic raw milk, yogurt, butter, organic beef, craft sourdough bread and pastries made with organic flour, home made cakes and puddings with lots of vegan and gluten free options, perennial plants, lavender products, chutneys and jams, luxury sausage rolls and pork pies made from free-range rare breed pork, herbal teas made from homegrown herbs that also feed the bees, hand made baskets, charcoal, apple juice and craft gin.
