If you’re looking for a thrifty, old fashioned Christmas then let the farmers at Teignmouth Farmers’ Market help you this Saturday (December 21).
They’ve got plenty of ideas for sustainable, green holiday and will be waiting on December 21 between 10 am and 2 pm in The Triangle, Teignmouth.
All produce comes from within 30 miles of Teignmouth and is sold by the people that really do rear, grow, brew, bake, pickle, smoke, raise or process it. Keep it real, keep it local, and make it happen.
Set the scene right from the front door as Springfield Nursery has homemade wreaths, use them as they are or tart them up with your personal touch.
Put an award winning game pie in the freezer for boxing day from Stanbury Game, and to keep small fry busy in the kitchen have them snap off Brussel Sprouts from the stalk from Shillingford Organics. They will store better on the stalk if you need a few more sprouts for Boxing Day Bubble and Squeak.
Get your sausage rolls , both vegan or vegetarian), from the Veggie Deli, or buy a pack of sausage meat, beef, lamb from Bushwackers on Dartmoor to make your own.
Blessed be the cheese makers’ advice on what to put on your holiday cheese board. Select artisan goats’ cheeses and cows’ milk cheeses from Curworthy. Pair them with local chutneys from Shute Fruit and cider from Black Rabbit Farm.
Stock up on breads from Bread of Devon and include everyone with breads from Tilley’s Gluten Free to freeze for the holiday period for eating or stuffing that turkey.
If you haven’t managed to make your own Christmas cake, Pat-a-Cake will save the day. Don’t forget some festive sparkling wine for the New Year’s toast from Huxbear.
The farmers at the market wish all their loyal customers a merry Christmas and a Healthy New Year.
