I didnt realise there was a Farmers "Market", i did say there wasnt any farm shops in the area, i did used to stay on a farm, unused as that purpose i may add, so i am aware of the local countryside & in that area, once again there was no shops that sold produce !
Thanks for the link though, i see there is a market in hamilton on the 15th october, so might go for a look & purchase stuff to freeze seeing as its a month to the next one
