The UK's only weekly organic farmers' market happens every Saturday in front of St Paul's church on Stoke Newington Road, N16 7UE.
Aside from the delicious seasonal food and friendly stallholders, what's in it for you?
Live in a climate-friendly way
All the farmers at the market are either organic or biodynamic, which is much better for the planet. And the stallholders making processed foods use organic ingredients.
Cut wasteful packaging
Most fruit and veg at the market is sold unpackaged as are many other products, which also means you can choose to buy as much as you want.
Know who produces your food
Find out everything you want to know about the food and how it was grown or cooked from the people that grew, reared or produced it.
Pay fair prices
While organic food is necessarily more expensive than food farmed conventionally because of the labour-intensive methods used to produce it, the farmers at the market charge a fair price for their produce and pay fair wages to the people who work for them. The market also accepts Healthy Start vouchers. Fair trade is as important at home as it is for imports.

Eat with the seasons
Discover produce you've never eaten before. There won’t be apples or tomatoes in May but, when they are in season, you can choose from dozens of different varieties. Plus - it's your chance to try things you'll probably never see in a supermarket - wild garlic, celeriac, green garlic, kohlrabi, salsify...
