3 Little Pigs at the Mini Farmers Market
The Mini Farmers’ Market was hailed as a wild success with lots of the village turning out despite rain lashing down. Stall holders were all farmers within a narrow radius of Cherry Burton and reported a very successful evening. One commented that they took more in an hour than they do in a whole morning at another farmers market. We have included the flyer on the site so you can look up the contact details.
