Farmers' markets in Brighton & Hove
Farmers' markets provide many environmental, social, economic and health benefits. These include:
- an opportunity for customers to talk to producers
- bringing a spirit of fun and community back into shopping
- a direct marketing outlet for smaller family farms unable to meet supermarket demands for specified size, shape and quantity
- growers sell direct to the customer so the price paid, even for organic produce, can be lower than from supermarkets
- encouraging organic and environmentally friendly farming
- a reduction of ‘food miles’ and packaging
For a Sussex wide list of farmers' markets and village markets, see the Action in Rural Sussex website.
