❤ LOVE LOCAL ❤ TRURO FARMERS’ MARKET
Truro Farmers’ market has become an eagerly anticipated weekly event for a new band of loyal regulars, who revel in the chance to cook with some of the region’s fi nest produce, even before it is sold at a premium in our top restaurants. The market also provides a memorable experience for the succes- sion of spellbound visitors who, every Wednesday and Saturday, happen across the sea of
bright blooms, plump fruit and vegetables, fa- mous local cheeses and meat reared on fi ne Cornish pastures. Beneath the green and white stripes awaits a sensory explo- sion of colour and colourful banter. Soak up the smells of freshly baked bread and smoked fi sh, rows of perfect blue duck eggs, preserves in a rainbow of colours and cakes to make your mouth water. A friendly welcome is guaranteed from the traders,
some of whom are truly artisan in scale and others who are courted for their produce by the famous chefs of Cornwall and beyond. These characters are part of Truro’s ongoing promise of a vibrant city centre, offering a thriving alternative to a car- bound tour of the ring of out-of- town stores. As well as the weekly markets on a Wednesday and Saturday, Truro Farmers Market also ‘pops up’ in Falmouth on the pedestrianised
area known as The Moor every Tuesday.
However it is The Big
Produce Market, held twice a year, which showcases the whole spectrum of food produced here in Cornwall, of which Truro Farm- ers Market is just the tip of the iceberg.
