Dear all, the list is up for this sunday...
https://www.stroudgreenmarket.com/thisweek
Bread by Bike has it's one stall now with enough sourdough bread buns & baguettes for everybody; one new hot food stall (awesome, I think); and very local L…
Hi everyone!
Thanks to those who came on Sunday in spite of the dodgy weather. Here are a few things to know about:
1) The coffee was quicker this time, I think? And we've found someone to help out from now on so it should always be at least as slic…
LAst minute update:
I'm really sorry for everyone expecting fish: Seafayre can't come due to family issues. David was very apologetic & I can only guess it's something quite enexpected & difficult...anyway he says they'll certainly be back i…
Hi everyone! Here is a link to the list for this Sunday so you know exactly who's coming, and it's probably worth mentioning that from the same page you can sign to the mailing list for a regular update...maybe after a while i can stop bombarding yo…
Arkady: please bear with me with the coffee thing; I'll tell you of any breakthroughs I can make with it. Perhaps I made the wrong choice but now that it's done I'm determined to help him & make it quick as possible! I'm passing on your feedback…
Soon: I love E5, can't work out whether I prefer it to B by B but it's good to have both for the time being. The problem is that they don't want to have their own stall, & when Andy (B by bike) is ready to have one for himself I don't know if it…
Rikki - great - please tell all your friends vegan or otherwise that Kallycooks food is awesome & worth trying! I thing she'd benefit from some extra publicity though I'm obviously doing my best...
Brodiej,
Thanks for making it clear...I agree. It's v odd & annoying, and I'll try to talk seriously about it with him tomorrow. I guess if he's inexperienced the simplest thing is to persuade him to take on a bit of barista help. Let's see, ple…
Pembe,
Sorry about the bread thing - we're having to sell it for the bakers at the moment as Bread by Bike can't take their own stall yet (maybe this sunday but I'll let you know) & I had to make up numbers with another bakery. A well respected …
Dear everyone,
Here's the line up for this week. Farmers are not always communicative but I hope that the goat dairy will come, and it is the most amazing stall! (with or without actual goats, they might all be too busy making cheese cake back in th…
I'm with you two about the coffee queue: he's a wonderful barista but firstly he doesn't compromise & most significantly he's never run his own setup before. We're going to work together on how to be more efficient, and hopefully you won't have …
Hi everyone!
Thought I'd write a list of what's on offer this week; and make it a regular Friday post so you always know (as far as I do myself) what's going to be there...
There are a few highlights/new stalls:
1) Proper fresh fish!
2) facepaintin…
Kate: you know the cheese stall is also bringing French & Italian charcuterie this week...apparently they're going to leave poor christine to do it by herself for now! but if we keep buying from her they'll have to find someone to help her.
Mat…
Thanks miss annie & Bee! I'm sorry about the cheese - they're wonderful people and like most vegans are not secretive about it at all! Maybe they just didn't put their sign in the right place or were too busy to explain...you'll notice the dairy…
Thank you for your feedback...I couldn't believe how many of you came yesterday.
Those traders who sold out early have promised to bring more next time, which means more bread & pastries, more breakfast baps, more pies, more cake. And Billy has…
Guys,
THANK YOU once more for your comments since I first posted earlier this year. The 1st market is THIS SUNDAY at Stroud green school. Do come and please bring as many people friends family & strangers as you can drag along. We've got a good …
Thanks harpistic...i'll see this time next week when I have a chance to look at it again (yes I'm supposed to be running it, although actually it's been more my housemate so far)
Thanks Ali...needs updating already, especially the producer page. I'm afraid I'm not good enough at websites & haven't quite got enough time to keep it in the loop - we've got a few extra stalls to those mentioned & one or two can't make it…
Hooray! I've only just started doing this, much later than I meant to. I have 13000 to go - any help much appreciated in exchange for a loaf of bread & a huge heap of thanks!
I agree, miss annie; that's what hopefully ours will be like. Always - a farmers market first & foremost. We don't really want to compete with anybody, surely the more interesting things going on in an area the better? But it's good idea not to …
Miss Annie: Thank you! That would be brilliant. There'll definitely be a "Christmas party" style market as the last of the year, but I'm sure you could come a few weeks before that if you wanted. I'd love to have a look & find out more about you…
Alfie: Yes I agree. I'm trying to persuade a brilliant market gardener to bring their flowers but it's uncertain whether they'll be able to make it regularly. If that falls through I'll look for another! Any ideas? The best florist I know of around …
Yes I hope so! My first hope was to make a "purist" farmers market with only the primary producers selling directly, and it's only been more recently that I've seen the benefit to everyone of a wider array of stalls. If anything is retailed I'll do …
