Farmers market booms again

Shoppers turned out in droves at the Berwick Farmers Market, held at The Old Cheese Factory on Saturday, July 12, for a morning filled with fresh produce, artisan goods, and community spirit.

The popular monthly event featured a wide variety of farm-fresh produce and handcrafted treats. Stallholders showcased everything from crisp fruit and vegetables to free-range eggs, ethically sourced meats, and small-batch honey.

Visitors browsed artisan breads, gourmet baked goods, and dairy delights, including specialty cheeses and locally made yoghurts. The market also offered vegetable seedlings, house-made jams and preserves, and an array of wines, craft beers, and spirits.

Coffee lovers were kept caffeinated with barista-made coffee, while foodies enjoyed an assortment of ready-to-eat meals and snacks.

Held every second Saturday of the month, the Berwick Farmers Market has become a go-to destination for those looking to support local growers, producers, and makers — all set against the charming backdrop of The Old Cheese Factory.
