WHO'S AT THE MARKET THIS WEEK
BAKERY
OUT OVER CATERING
We bring both sweet and savoury products to the market – cheesy sausage rolls, sausage rolls, scotch eggs, our sausage meat slices, quiche, pies and pasties; scones (plain, cheese and fruit) and all kinds of cakes from tea-bread to traditional coffee cakes, also cookie, tiffin, and flapjacks.
DAIRY & EGGS
BATCH FARM CHEESEMAKERS
All of our farmhouse cheddar cheese is made using the milk from our own dairy herd, meaning the milk for our cheese travels minutes rather than days or hours before being turned into our award winning final products.
DRINKS
LOADER’S SOMERSET CIDER
A father and son partnership passionate about real cider, cider vinegar and apple juice.
FISH & SEAFOOD
JONAS FISHMONGERS
Jonas Fishmongers is a family business spanning across 5 generations. Today Steven and Martin are the owners and have grown up learning from their father, David Jonas. We can prepare your fish while you wait and take pre-orders via our Facebook page, dependent on availability. We also can offer fresh, frozen and shell fish to restaurants and pubs.
FRUIT & VEGETABLES
BELSEY'S CHEDDAR STRAWBERRIES
Besley’s Strawberries can be found in the traditional area around Cheddar in Somerset, where early varieties could be grown. Seven acres are devoted to Besley’s strawberries, some under poly-tunnels. Pests are kept under control using biological pest controls and free-range chickens – that eat the vine weevils, no chemical pesticides are used. Cliff Besley grows seven varieties that extend the season from early May to late September.
BLUEBERRIES
For a short time, we have a local grower selling their delicious, freshly picked blueberries.
PLOWRIGHT
100% homegrown, seasonal veg from our Organic farm in Over Stowey. We are certified organic by the Soil Association, the UK's leading certifier and sister of the well known organic farming charity.
GOURMET FOOD
THE KIND KITCHEN
Here at The Kind Kitchen we bake Artisan Sourdough Bread. We also make a selection of vegetarian and vegan savouries and cakes. You can find us at the Minehead Farmers Market every Friday.
Where possible, we strive to use local and organic ingredients. All our flour is organic and the spelt flour that we use in our bread and pastries is grown in Somerset and milled at Dunster Water Mill.
STEFANO'S FOOD
Stefano creates seasonal Italian and European dishes using fresh locally grown and reared ingredients from the South West, and he also sources and imports quality Italian products.
MEAT & POULTRY
EVENLADE TRADITIONAL
A traditional breed, our beef is produced exclusively from grass-fed, registered pedigree stock and is a trademarked product. All dry-aged (hung) for a minimum of 21 days, we sell a variety of cuts (steaks, joints, mince etc) subject to availability. All our meat is vacuum packed and fresh where possible but, as a small producer we do not have the numbers of stock to guarantee this. If at all possible we recommend advance ordering and we will do our best to provide the required size and cut: we sell out fast!
LITTLE MEAD MEATS
All our pigs are sourced locally, from farms and small holdings where we can be assured the meat is of the highest quality and the animals have led a stress free life. Everything we sell is produced by ourselves, using traditional butchery methods.
SOMERSET VENISON
We produce farmed red deer venison, fed on an all-grass diet at our family farm near Taunton. Our venison is high in iron, protein and omega 3 oils and low in fat and cholesterol. It is tender and flavoursome, not tough and gamey like some wild venison can be. We do not use any GM or antibiotics.
PLANTS & FLOWERS
FOXHOLLOW NURSERIES
Offer a wide-range of sustainably grown herb plants.
