Help Please!

Can anyone help me with Farmers Markets? I have very little idea of what happens at one and could use any information anyone can offer me, such as stall types, is there any livestock there? Or do they just sell farmers???:rotfl:

Thanks

Tracey

We have a local farmers shop type market, but, alas they do not sell farmers just fruit, veg, eggs, home made pies and cakes, coleslaw, and meat (beef, chicken, venison, sausage, etc.,) that is reared on the farm.
Will ask when I visit at the weekend why the do not have a stall selling farmers!!! lol.

You could also try and find Shell from Kent (did use Under 5s) as, I belive, she lives on a farm, so would know all about Farmers Markets!

Don't worry Chloe, there's no hurry, anytime you get a chance would be great. I don't want to put you to any trouble.
