Every week in south end high street there is what's called a farmers market and of course you can buy an assortment of items , although there are a number of stalls , each week strolling through these stalls its the same old people and the same old merchandise.
some time back we had a day when German products were sold off of stalls and of course when you arrived at some of the food stalls seeing bratwurst sausages , black bread. and a host of pastries and cakes at least it made a change then some where one of the stalls sold sausage rolls with onion , to which you could smell the onions long before you got to the stall, ??and the prices were dual marked in pounds and euros,
so have the real farmers markets disappeared, as people we knew who lived in Lincoln shire then during the winter, had farmers driving tractors and trailers delivering door to door particularly when the snow was too deep for people to get out actually selling their own home grown produce, virtually a home delivery service that supermarkets provide today.
from a selection of everyday produce ,including vegetable's and selections of cuts of meat ,a blessing for any one who needed to get supplies in,
Q; have you ever been to a real a farmers market where cattle was actually sold and every thing else in between if so will you share your memories with us , i saw this once in Cambridge many years ago just after the war,
these people were very smart in providing a service and selling their own products as well
