Simply Pies sold out as did Jim Stratton from Stockton and Stratton who breed their own home-bred beef and pork just outside Bruera. Jim says he seems to be developing a growing number of customers from Tarporley, as indeed is Chestnut Meats who produce delicious bacon and goat at Spurstow.
Pimlotts Poultry will return in February with hens for sale (Hens bought by market guru, Karen at the first market are now in production and she's thrilled to bits!!) Plus Spring bulbs and planters for sale, jams, chutneys, yoghurts, cheeses, pies, fresh vegetables - literally dug out of the ground the day before, fresh and smoked meats etc etc. Oh, and puddings!!
The next market is the weekend before valentines day and so there will be a few giftware stalls - all locally produced of course. The next market is Saturday 7th February 10am to 2pm We even plan to have a busker to entertain the market!
The market committee are going to be bringing out a Directory of Producers, free of charge, to be given out at different markets. In it will be a list of the events we will be running (cookery demos, Tarporley Tea, Harvest Festival, Cheese Festival etc) together with a page per producer so that they have an opportunity to tell the public what they produce, where and why and include photos and logos.
