Farmer's Market (16 September 2006), Grimsargh
Went along to the farmers' market in Grimsargh today, which is a little village in the Preston borough a few miles from Longridge. I must say, a lot of the stalls had some absolutely lovely-looking stuff going. A variety of Lancashire cheeses, fish, meat and ice-cream. Sumptuous stuff, it was. And all from the county of the red rose.
Anyway, enough about that. This photoblog, being a photoblog is titled 'Images of Lancashire' and not 'Dribbling Accounts of Lancashire' so without further ado I will proceed with those lovely pictures!
Here's Barry's Fresh Fish, who is from the Blackpool area. A stall with some lovely fish and a very cheery chappie he was too!

The meat stall. Nice (and inexpensive) meat to be had there. We picked up a nice bit of lamb.


The village hall from the outside. This was where most of the farmers' market was:

One of several cheese stalls. The cheese was beautiful. Can you tell I might just like cheese? My favourite cheese is really strong Lancashire. Mouthwatering stuff that I could eat hours after the cows came home!

Ostrich pies on offer on this stall, as well as various meats:


Another cheese stall, this time Procter's Cheeses from the village of Chipping:


And finally, here's the soap stall. Some really pleasant smelling soaps to be had there. Note the stallholder with the ice cream. I spotted quite a few people with them in their hands, so I deduced that they must be alright so I went and had a lovely chocolate ice cream cone. It was perfectly delicious!


That's it, then, for the Grimsargh farmers' market. I hope to have another entry up in the near future. Until then, goodbye!

Some great picture there.
It's a shame we don't have more farmers markets - the produce is top quality and the price is a lot cheaper than the supermarkets.
