Fast becoming a go-to food destination for local food, this monthly market champions local farmers and artisan producers.

Alice Walters, of the famous Chez Panisse in Berkeley California, had her “epiphany” moment in Brittany some 50 years ago when she ate a meal in a simple restaurant and wondered why everything tasted so delicious. Everything came from the local market that morning. Back home she couldn’t create that taste until she searched out vegetables, fruits, fish and meat direct from the producer. Based on local, fresh and mostly organic, she set up one of the most successful restaurants in San Francisco.
In Ledbury, you don’t have to go out to find local producers!

We are delighted by the poem, “This is the Last Day”, written by The Poetry Machine for the Ledbury Celebration at the event last Sunday.
Summer smiled on this year’s Ledbury Celebration – a special day featuring a food and drink market, musical and poetic plus Ledbury’s Heritage Buildings, all centred in historic St Katherine’s on the last day of the Ledbury Poetry Festival.
The new venue in St Katherine’s car park proved a perfect amphitheatre for music and poetry and the horseshoe lay out for market stalls created a warm friendly atmosphere. All the food and drink stalls featuring a fine array of local produce sold well, and many sold out. Continue reading “Thanks for making this year’s Ledbury Celebration so special!”

On offer were fresh beef and lamb, local cheese, freshly raised pies, vegetables, preserves, chillies, cakes and food to eat “on the go”. All the fresh foods on offer sold out, some in less than 30 minutes. To add to the feast, local musicians provided entertainment. Continue reading “New Ledbury Evening Farmers’ Market is a success”
