The Moseley Farmers’ Market has been given permission to continue through lockdown with stalls selling ‘essential’ goods only, and by keeping the one-way system going.

The market will be open on Saturday 30th Jan, 9 to 2pm.

But remember, it may be different due to Covid-19 regulations. To protect everyone, please follow these simple guidelines at the market:

• Wear a mask, keep your distance and use hand sanitiser available on the stalls.
• Register the QR code on your mobile for the NHS Covid app so it knows that you’ve been. The QR code is at the main entrance of the market.
• Respect other people in wanting you to keep your distance.

The market will be in the centre of Moseley Village and will have as many usual stalls as possible selling a huge range of produce to cater for everyone’s needs; whether it be fruit and vegetables, cheeses and wine, pies, beer or samosas. Everything available is guaranteed to be local and the produce is reared, grown or processed by the stallholders: it’s a certified real Farmers’ Market. There will also be stallholders selling non-local food for the benefit of the community such as olives, fish, unusual cheeses and coffee beans & tea leaves. These are placed on the edge of the Farmers Market area.

In 2020, Moseley’s Farmers’ Market took part in the filming of BBC1’s “The Farmer’s Country Showdown”.

In case you missed them, here are the two episodes featuring Moseley:

• First episode, with a focus on veg.
• Second episode, with a focus on wines.

This month, Moseley Farmers’ Market will take place the Saturday before Christmas, on December 19th, and will finish an hour later than usual, closing at 3pm.

To protect everyone, please follow these simple guidelines at the market:

• Wear a mask, keep your distance and use hand sanitiser available on the stalls.
• Register the QR code on your mobile for the NHS Covid app so it knows that you’ve been. The QR code is at the main entrance of the market.

Food made to order by award-winning Edgbaston Cricket Ground chefs is now available for home delivery via Deliveroo, within a 6 Km radius of the ground.

The restaurant names to look for on Deliveroo when ordering are ‘Hola Pollo’ (with several cuisines on the menu) and ‘Bamboo’ (Chinese food).

Foodshare is a national not-for-profit, volunteer-powered charity which connects growers (schools, allotments, community and kitchen gardeners) with local charities.

We’re thrilled to announce that Moseley Farmers’ Market has been shortlisted as a finalist to be awarded Farmers’ Market of the Year!

Organised by the Farm Retail Association (FRA), the awards are the only ones to be judged by fellow farm retailers and celebrate the best farmers’ markets, farm shops, farm cafés and restaurants and trade suppliers in the country. FRA Chairman Rob Copley said: “We wish every finalist in the Farm Retail Awards the very best of luck. This year especially, farmers’ markets have helped to keep the nation fed, offering easy access to fresh, nutritious and affordable British food. Supporting local farmers and local jobs, farmers’ markets are at the beating heart of communities across the country. We hope customers keep coming back to support them and local farmers for years to come.”

The winners will be announced on Wednesday 3rd March 2021 at a virtual awards ceremony.

We wish Moseley Farmers’ Market all the best for their chance to win the title for their fourth time!
