December dates for your diary
The market will run every Saturday till 21 December - with guest stalls including the Radical Tea Towel Company (raising money for refugees), Claytime ceramics, Turning Wood Hackney, ceramics from Alison Bond, plus seasonal candles, lip balms and other honey-related gifts from Eric and Henry.
The farmers and the market will take a rest on Saturday 28 December and reopen on Saturday 4 January 2025.
As well as running a local veg box scheme and ethical wholesalers we also run the UK's only all-organic farmers' market, which happens every Saturday in Hackney. Drop by for guilt-free groceries that support small, sustainable farms almost all from within 60 miles of London. There's plenty of space to enjoy a chat with friends over a coffee and cake or a freshly made mushroom sandwich. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Every £1 you spend at the market generates £3.70 of benefits for you, the farmers and the planet.
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.
