🧭 Why Visit Farmers' Markets in August?
August is one of the richest months for fresh British produce: courgettes, tomatoes, beans, early apples, berries, soft cheeses and garden herbs. But beyond the flavours, it’s about connection — to the land, to growers, and to your own community.
Markets like these also support:
-
Independent growers and family-run farms
-
Heritage varieties and seasonal crops
-
Low-carbon, low-packaging food systems
-
Local economies in rural and semi-rural areas
🛍 Tips for a Better Market Experience

Bring cash — some stalls may not take card payments.
-
Come early — best produce sells fast, especially fresh eggs, bread and soft fruit.
-
Talk to farmers — they’re often happy to share recipes or advice.
-
Bring your own bags or basket.
