Hands down, my fav farmers market in London to date (and I've been making the rounds!). I go every Sunday morning right around opening, just because things to get picked over quickly.
The layout is well planned, with wide rows and plenty of space for people to browse without having to feel like a salmon during spawning season. As it gets warmer, there is a larger variety of beautifully raised produce, but I find that some of my of the most enjoyable stands are from the meat, poultry, egg, seafood, potato and dairy vendors.
I generally always pick out some pork shoulder or loin, as well a duck breast or two, which are quickly becoming my favourite protein to prepare. The fresh eggs are also a must-have for me. And the hubs always has a half-dozen oysters from Maldon, who will happily bring enough for entertaining purposes, as long as you phone ahead. The cheese suppliers tend to vary from week-to-week, which is also nice for discovering some of the smaller producers around.
I also buy lovely homemade butter and unpasteurised milk (which seems to be a really big hit with the locals) from the stall next to my pork butcher. The potato guy brings an array of potatoes in many sizes, shapes, and colours. And is extremely knowledgeable and what's best for baking, boiling, mash, et. al. Just ask!
All in all, it's a very easy-going, family-oriented type of market. The baby-, dog-, and parent-watching is worth the trip alone!
