Brighton Farm Market

For the first time a really top quality Farmer's Market - known as Brighton Farm Market - has arrived in Brighton.

If you're a customer of ours then you can buy our honey here every Saturday. Call us on 01273 382263 if you have any special requests for honey.

I'm writing this having just returned from the market.

It was really great to see top quality produce on display from a wide variety of suppliers - fresh organic vegetables, fresh organic bread, local cheeses, Italian food from Calabria and of course raw honey from us.

Here's a view of the market, going in from North Road.

Thousands of people are going to be visiting it soon, once word gets around. Brighton has been crying out for this kind of quality Farmer's Market for years.

You can see some of the new honeys we have in this video - including honeycomb, sublime Surrey honey (from Elderflower mainly) and Brighton Coombe Road allotment honey.

You can visit Brighton Farm Market website for more details about the market here.
