What makes a “farmers’ market”?
It’s a question that is exercising newspapers and politicians. And it’s a question that SFB’s members and committee are wrestling with. We’d be really interested in your comments about Bedfordshire’s local “farmers’ markets“. Should they be FARMA certified? What should the convivium be doing about this issue?
