Farmer's Boy
We all know about the state of the global economy, but how are things shaping up locally? I spent my Saturday morning at the local Farmer's Market opposite The Oval tube, talking to traders and finding out about fiscal matters on a very micro-economic level.
The Oval Farmer's Market has been trading for just over a year. It was named as the Best Local Market in Time Out this year, a success that has been built upon the quality of produce on sale, and the friendly local atmosphere. It operates every Saturday morning at St Mark's Church, and always seems seems to attract plenty of shoppers.
Prices can't quite compete with the supermarket big boys, but the quality of food far exceeds any processed crap you'll find along the aisles of a faceless food hanger.
Many thanks to the all the local traders who were happy to help out with the recording. The fragrant mrs onionbagblogger and I are looking forward to our Giggly Pig sausages with some mash later on this evening; the delightful clever cookies are our planned afternoon treat ahead of a Dulwich Hamlet home fixture.
