Local food for local people
Farmer's Markets emerged in this country around 1998 and were seen as a saviour to many struggling farmers who were experiencing difficult times. The concept of providing local produce to local people has been embraced and these markets are now common place in most towns and cities across the UK.
Sketts is extremely proud to be one of the Farmer's Market pioneers with Stratford Upon Avon being one of the first in the country, opening in June 1999 with many others following. We continue to work closely with farmers and local authorities to ensure our farmer's markets remain authentic and true to their original ethos. The original criteria required is still adhered to. Our farmers have risen to the challenge and continue to provide excellent produce. They offer customers their expert knowledge of the produce, how it's grown, how it is best cooked and even recipes are on hand
