As of March 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: as of February 2011 this is provided by Maximus Sustainable Fishing (Christchurch Fish and Whitey's Fresh Fish no longer sell at this market).
- 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. The market is really focused on shopping rather than grazing, though, unlike Borough Market.
