The September Farmers Market was fortunate to be bathed in lovely, if somewhat watery, sunshine with only the occasional gust of wind tugging at our leaflets. Catriona & Alan guided people through a tasting of a whole series of chutneys, including some donated by members. It was also the first time we got to showcase the brand new leaflets from Slow Food UK & gave up some stall space to our friends over at Linlithgow Aspires. The market itself was a triumph, well attended and with a great selection of stallholders; Tarelgin Farm Foods & Smokehouse - Smoked Fish, Meats & Pates from this family farm in Ayrshire Chrystal's - Wonderful Traditional Hand-Made Scottish Shortbread from Helensbourgh Island Cheese Company - Delicious selection of cheese; plain, smoked & flavoured from the Isle of Arran Nethergate Larder - Rare breed pork, bacon, lamb & beef from Nethergate Farm in Ayrshire Eastern Twist - Glasgow based purveyors of delicious Indian ready meals & snacks, made from local produce Olives & Thingz - Based in Greenock, they are arguably the best supplier of classic deli products in Scotland Erincroft Bakery - Wonderful bread, cakes & pastries from this bakery in Callander, Perthshire. Splendid Soups & Such - "Home-made soup without the hassle" as well as chutneys, dips & other goodies from this Troon based cook. Cedar Cottage Country Food - Fantastic free range, native breed, pork & sausages from the Enterkine Estate in Ayrshire Alexander Fruit & Veg - A great selection of seasonal veg And for the non foodies...
