A farmers' market is a market in which farmers, growers or producers from a defined local area are present in person to sell their own produce, direct to the public. All products sold should have been grown, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked, smoked or processed by the stallholder.
West Wirral Farmers' Market
There are efforts to find a suitable site and set up a regular monthly farmer's market in West Wirral. At the moment this is being blocked by Birkenhead Market who have Market Rights over most of Wirral. They feel that a monthly West Wirral Farmers' Market would be damaging to them.
