WHO'S AT THE MARKET
BAKERY
HOME MADE CAKES BY JULIET
I specialise in making gluten / wheat free and also dairy free. All cakes are made with a choice of flavours ranging from carrot cake, chocolate, coffee, orange, lemon, coconut/passion fruit, Victoria sponge and ginger, all filled with butter cream and homemade jams, using local ingredients where possible.
CONFECTIONERY
COCOA'S HANDMADE CHOCOLATE
Here at Cocoa's we use all the best ingredients possible, to make our produce as tasty as it can be! Everything is made by hand so every item is as unique as the last.
DAIRY & EGGS
BATCH FARM CHEESEMAKERS
All of our farmhouse cheddar cheese is made using the milk from our own dairy herd, meaning the milk for our cheese travels minutes rather than days or hours before being turned into our award winning final products.
DEANE BARTON FREE RANGE EGGS
Our eggs are free-range to a high standard - the hens are kept in small numbers and rotated around grassy pens - and are stamped with their own producer-number.
DRINKS
TORRE CIDER
Torre Cider Farm has been producing traditional scrumpy for over 20 years, ranging from extra dry to medium sweet cider, as well as making our delicious fresh apple juice. We also sell the ever popular cider vinegar which has an array of interesting uses.
FISH & SEAFOOD
JONAS FISHMONGERS
Jonas Fishmongers is a family business spanning across 5 generations. Today Steven and Martin are the owners and have grown up learning from their father, David Jonas. We can prepare your fish while you wait and take pre-orders via our Facebook page, dependent on availability. We also can offer fresh, frozen and shell fish to restaurants and pubs.
FRUIT & VEGETABLES
BELSEYS CHEDDAR STRAWBERRIES
Besley’s Strawberries can be found in the traditional area around Cheddar in Somerset, where early varieties could be grown. Seven acres are devoted to Besley’s strawberries, some under poly-tunnels. Pests are kept under control using biological pest controls and free-range chickens – that eat the vine weevils, no chemical pesticides are used. Cliff Besley grows seven varieties that extend the season from early May to late September.
PLOWRIGHT
100% homegrown, seasonal veg from our Organic farm in Over Stowey. We are certified organic by the Soil Association, the UK's leading certifier and sister of the well known organic farming charity.
GOURMET FOOD
STEFANO'S HOMEMADE FOOD
Stefano creates seasonal Italian and European dishes using fresh locally grown and reared ingredients from the South West, and he also sources and imports quality Italian products.
MEAT & POULTRY
EVENLADE TRADITIONAL
A traditional breed, our beef is produced exclusively from grass-fed, registered pedigree stock and is a trademarked product. All dry-aged (hung) for a minimum of 21 days, we sell a variety of cuts (steaks, joints, mince etc) subject to availability. All our meat is vacuum packed and fresh where possible but, as a small producer we do not have the numbers of stock to guarantee this. If at all possible we recommend advance ordering and we will do our best to provide the required size and cut: we sell out fast!
SOMERSET VENISON
We produce farmed red deer venison, fed on an all-grass diet at our family farm near Taunton. Our venison is high in iron, protein and omega 3 oils and low in fat and cholesterol. It is tender and flavoursome, not tough and gamey like some wild venison can be. We do not use any GM or antibiotics.
PLANTS & FLOWERS
EXMOOR PLANT CENTRE
From our nursery at Lynton the the Exmoor Coast, we offer year-round an unusual range of shrubs, trees, rockery plants, heathers, fruit trees, roses, herbs and bedding plants for the discerning plant collector or gardener alike.
