Harpers Lane Allotments Open Day - August

The allotments open day went very well this year. We sold loads of cheese and loads of ice cream. Thanks everyone! Me and my dad have made the big new sign above in the second photo for the ice cream stall. The day was sunny except for an hour of heavy rain in the middle of the day, but it dried up again afterwards and didn't spoil the day.

Mere Brow Farmers Market - August

We had another good market at Mere Brow this month. It was very hot and sunny. We sold lots of cheese and all our pasties and bakes. We'll be back next month!

Appley Bridge Farmers Market - July

Appley Bridge was a bit quiet this month. We were selling ice cream, cheese and cheese and onion pasties. The weather was a lot less sunny than I expected, it was lovely on the way there, but it clouded over.

Hoghton Tower Farmers Market - July

Hoghton Tower was good this month. It was the tenth anniversary of the farmers market so they had a free raffle for a big hamper of food. We sold out of our red lentil, carrot and tomato soup which pleased me. We had whinberry ice cream for the first time this year, I'm making more of it tomorrow with more foraged whinberries from Winter Hill.

Mere Brow Farmers Market - July

Mere Brow was very good this month. As you can see we brought black peas for the first time. They sold fairly well so we'll try them again next month. There was a beer festival there as well so I bought a couple of beers from the Burscough Brewery. And also some scones for my supper.

Inglenook Artisan Market

Inglenook Artisan market was quieter than last months but we still did ok. We didn't sell much soup but we sold plenty of our ice creams. We won't be there next month in August but will return in September.

Banks Farmers Market

This was a one off farmers market at the New Fleetwood Pub in Banks. It was a bit quiet but we sold some cheese, black peas and ice cream. I got to have a nice cold pint from the pub.
