Hi, I'm Louise. Today I'm at a farmer's market in Winchester, in the south of England. 00:00:00
There are now over 750 markets in Britain. Unlike normal shops, these markets move from 00:00:13
place to place. They set up in each location at regular intervals. Some are weekly, some 00:00:20
are fortnightly, and some are monthly. At farmer's markets, producers can sell directly 00:00:26
to customers. In an age of globalisation and internet retailing, some people want to return 00:00:33
to a simpler way of shopping. They like to touch and taste what they're buying. And most 00:00:39
importantly, they want to know where it comes from. When you shop in the supermarket, it 00:00:45
isn't always easy to find out who produces your meat, picks your fruit, or grows your 00:00:51
vegetables. But at farmer's markets, customers buy directly from the producer, who can tell 00:00:57
them all about the goods they sell. Supermarkets also have a long supply chain. The food often 00:01:03
has to travel from the producer to a distributor and a wholesaler before it reaches the supermarket 00:01:13
shelf. This means food can often spend days in lorries and warehouses. But at farmer's 00:01:19
markets, there's no supply chain. It comes directly from the farm to the market. Producers 00:01:33
sell it as soon as it's ready, so it's always fresh, organic, and tasty. Winchester Market 00:01:40
is the largest regular farmer's market in the UK. It takes place twice a month and has 00:01:50
over 90 stalls, selling all kinds of food and drink. Bakers sell freshly baked bread 00:01:56
and cakes. Farmers sell meat, vegetables and fruit. And beekeepers sell honey. There 00:02:04
are lots of different stalls and they sell everything from homemade meat pies to jams 00:02:19
and sauces made from locally sourced ingredients. The best part is that all this food comes 00:02:25
from the local area. Winchester is in the county of Hampshire. All the businesses that 00:02:32
have stalls at Hampshire Farmer's Markets must be based in the county or within 15 kilometres 00:02:39
of its borders. This is good news for customers. There's no middleman like a shop or a supermarket, 00:02:45
so customers can find out anything they want to know about the product they're buying. 00:02:54
It's also good for the local economy. The money stays in the area and as these local 00:03:00
businesses grow, they employ more local people. This is Lyburn Farmhouse Cheesemakers. It's 00:03:08
an excellent example of a local business which has benefited from these markets. They make 00:03:15
all their produce in Salisbury, less than 30 miles away from here. Lyburn Farm is a 00:03:21
family-run business. They milk their own cows and they use this milk to make their own cheese. 00:03:29
Every morning, the farm's cheesemakers collect the milk and separate it into curds and whey. 00:03:38
When the curd is ready, they drain it, squeeze it and put it into moulds. The next day, 00:03:47
they package the cheese and store it on the farm until it matures. At any one time, 00:04:01
they have 8,000 cheeses maturing. When the farm's cheese is ready, 00:04:08
these employees bring it to markets like this, where they sell it directly to the customer. 00:04:14
So this cheese comes straight from the farm. That's why it tastes so good. It's lovely. 00:04:19
Everything about Lyburn cheese is local. The employees work locally, 00:04:31
the customers buy locally, even the cows are local. This is why people come to farmers' 00:04:37
markets. They want to support local producers and want to buy local produce. Here, you know 00:04:45
exactly what you're buying and where it's from. So more and more people are trying to use the 00:04:51
supermarket less and buy fresh, locally produced food instead. 00:04:57
