Weekly farmers market in Bermondsey Square just off Tower Bridge Road.
This is a fairly new market, having started in November 2009. As with all the markets under the purview of London Farmers' Markets, all the produce comes from within 100 miles of the M25 and is sold by the person who grew, raised, baked, caught, gathered, shot, or made it — see the LFM rules.
As of February 2010, the goods on offer include:
- Bread: two stalls; the one at the far (north) end sells things like sourdough (£1.50/quarter loaf) and walnut bread (£3.80/loaf)
- Cheese
- Vegetables: two stalls selling seasonal British veg (in February 2010 this included swede, beetroot, celeriac, Jerusalem artichokes, etc)
- Jams, preserves, and honey
- Apples, apple juice, and apple juice mixes (e.g. apple and beetroot), from Chegworth Valley
- Fish: second and fourth Saturdays of the month only, from Christchurch Fish Co-operative (see also Evening Standard article)
- Polish ready-meals: pierogi (£3 for a tub of six; choice of meat, cheese, or veg) and stew
- Meat:
- Galileo Organic Farm, which sells game in season as well as more traditional meats such as pork; this might include ready-skinned rabbits (£5).
- The Parsons Nose, which sells sausages and the odd pie; the venison sausages Kake and bob tried from here in February 2010 were rather too fatty.
- Animal Farm, which has things like goat, boar, lamb, and pork; they also sell dogfood.
A small amount of hot food is available; the Polish stall does fried pierogi (the same ones that are available to take home and cook), and the two meat stalls offer bacon sandwiches and sausage sandwiches respectively.
