HCFA make an impact at local farmer's market

Friday, 20 August 2010 14:05 Written by Alex Morrell

Hounslow Community Farming Association is a regular stallholder at the Twickenham farmers market. All produce has to be grown within 100 miles of the market, the HCFA site is four miles from the market so it doesn't get much more local than that.

HCFA has also cornered another niche. We're the only organic (well chemical free since we haven't got the Soil Association seal of approval yet) vegetable stallholder at the market. Judging from the sales receipts and the interest we have had from passers by suggests that local and organic tick all the right boxes for markets goers.

So if you want unusual varieties of cucumbers, beans, chard, seasonal beetroot, carrots, turnips, potatoes, leeks and parsnips or our own homegrown honey come and visit us at the Twickenham Farmer's market!
