This week we welcome the return of Chillies2U with chillies to warm you on cold January nights. Hempen’s range of locally grown hemp products are becoming a regular at the market and we see them back again this week. We also have the usual regulars selling organic favourites of fresh veg, fruit, and a variety of meat, including Willowbrook farm who are now back to their full pre-Christmas range or eggs, chicken, and meats. And we can’t forget the wonderful Café Asia where you can take a break from shopping to sample their delicious food.
