Welcome to the Farmers Market

Farmers’ Markets are for the more discerning shoppers, those who care about the origin of the food they eat. If you want to purchase quality produce that has been grown, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked or otherwise processed by the local stallholder, Island Farmers’ Markets are the places to go. They give the public confidence in the origins of the foods and enable them to ask direct questions to the farmers and producers.

Six years ago, with help and financial support from the Island 2000 Trust, local farmers and producers came together on the Isle of Wight to sell their produce directly to the public every Friday in St Thomas’ Square, Newport between 9am and 2pm. Public appreciation of fresh, local produce has grown, and now, with support from a new regional food group, The Island Food and Craft Association (IFCA), a second market will operate in Ryde Town Square on Saturday mornings from 8.30am to 12.30pm. This second market will give island shoppers even more opportunity to purchase quality seasonal produce, to assist the environment by reducing food miles and to help the island economy.

Island Farmers' Markets make shopping a sociable and enjoyable experience and foster a sense of community. With more than 20 members, the Island Farmers' Markets are helping to rejuvenate Isle of Wight town centers and make fresh food more accessible to local customers.
