Hoghton Tower Famers market July 2010




It was a very rainy and windy day at Hoghton Tower Farmers Market, but we did surprisingly well. We had the new whinberry ice cream, Lancashire griddle cakes, meringues and strawberry and gooseberry custard tarts. As you can see above, the rain washed the writing off our chalk boards. Thanks to everyone who bought something!

Scarisbrick Farmers Market

At Scarisbrick Farmers Market on Tuesday. We soon sold out of Sweet Potato and Pecan Ice Cream which always seems a good seller though it's unusual.

Blackcurrants

Freshly picked blackcurrants from the allotment make a lovely, and very strong ice cream. Our fruit ice creams are made from only fruit, a bit of sugar and cream.

Early Stall at Hoghton Tower Farmers Market

Here's our stall at our first 'Merchants of Hoghton' Farmers Market in June. We now have a much better 'list of flavours' blackboard.

Foraging for Berries


These are whinberries we picked from the bushes growing wild on Winter Hill near Bolton. They are very slow to pick and take ages as the berries grow very spaced out on the little plants. They make lovely ice cream though.
