It provides me with the opportunity to stock up on some great organic veg and meat as well as some great jams and local honey. The latter is an essential ingredient in every allergy suffers kitchen... eating honey that is grown locally can diminish the effects of hay-fever as well as a host of other allergies. The fact that the Farmers Market is in the car-park at Arthur John's is an absolute boon! Arthur John's is possibly the best hardware shop in the known universe, and I love visiting it, even if I don't have anything specific to buy. I always come out with a couple of items that I have been meaning to get, but always forget to purchase when I'm on a shopping mission elsewhere. If tools float your boat, this is a DIYers heaven! The prices are incredibly cheap considering the quality of the stock available. The Farmers Market isn't as cheap, but the quality of the goods is second to none! Cowbridge Farmers Market is held on the first Saturday of every month

There are also some ready-made foods, frozen things, drinks and other things I can't remember because I was so busy smelling the bread. It specialises in Welsh products but has things from around the UK. Sometimes a bit pricey but a really good place if you want just that gift to take to a dinner party or to visit your mother-in-law. Part of the whole Pugh's garden village complex so there's somewhere to park and other shops to visit whilst you are there.

If you love funny-shaped vegetables with the mud still on them, if you love the idea of eating wild boar or pheasant, if you love the idea of Indian food for breakfast, if you love beautifully presented and tasting coffee (for £1.50 a cup), if you love great big lumps of homemade bread, if you love bottled-conditioned beers from microbreweries (£2 a bottle from the Untapped Brewing Company stand) or if you love fresh and authentic falafel, then this should be your destination on a Saturday morning. Yeah, there are one too many people sporting flat caps or dreadlocks or letting little Tarquin run around instead of taking them to get his hair cut, but it's worth it for the quality produce and more than reasonable prices available here.

This is the little sister of the Riverside Market and happens every Saturday between 9.30am and…read more1pm. Its a bit out of the way but easy enough to find from City Road. It has something for everyone, I find there's slightly fewer stalls here but its equally as busy. As ever with farmers markets I buy more cheese than I can really eat and give lots away. Good fresh meat selection and beautiful bread too. Nice to have a place to sit down and have a cup of tea while you take in the atmosphere. Its is open pretty earlier but its not a bad way to start the weekend and you can buy everything you need for the best cooked breakfast on Sunday mornings!

There's two…read moregood ones near the city centre in Cardiff, the closest being in Riverside and the other is in Roath. Then there's the great farmers market in Cowbridge that takes you out into the Vale along the A48, where the views are marvelous, and the possibilities of combining a trip to Cowbridge with some fine walks and fun things to do in the countryside are seemingly endless. Nevertheless the newport Farmers market is larger than the others, and is well worth a visit. It occurs every 2nd and 4th Friday of each month, as opposed to on the weekend, as do all of the others mentioned.

After reading steeps review yesterday morning and needing to do the weekly shop we decided to head…read moreover to Bryngwenyn Farm and shop there. Bryngwenyn Farm is just as steeps writes and in a beautiful spot, I would definitely recommend its' location for a peaceful getaway with its' holiday cottages and b and b with the great advantage of the fabulous mainly organic farmshop with wonderful proper organic and freerange eggs(delicious for breakfast today). As well as doing a good shop there, we bought the aforementioned sausages, pork etc some wonderful organic vegetables, we had delicious home made cake and tea so definitely a step up from the usual supermarket venture.

Bryngwenyn Farm is many things in one. The part we go for is the Farm Shop. We were pointed here by…read moreout neighbours and decided to visit one Sunday afternoon. It is a bit off the beaten track so we had never seen it before, but we were pleasantly surprised. The shop itself is tiny, but still seems to hold plenty of goodies. There is a freezer full of meat (including the best sausages we have ever tasted), a fridge packed with cheese, yoghurt, milk and more, another freezer with bread, icecream and frozen fruits, a fruit and vegetable section and then shelves full of everything you can think of. They even stock Ecover products so if you are looking to avoid the supermarket, this is the place to go. Their home-milled flour is well worth a try and makes delicious bread. The shop is also a cafe and is laid out with a few tables. If you are looking for something different, they sell Alpaca wool gloves and hats! The rest of the farm includes holiday cottages and animals to see as well as the flour mill. I am tempted to sign up for one of the bread making courses. It is in an idyllic spot too with gorgeous views and a posse of sheep to greet you as you make your way down the track!

In fact, this is such a permanent and well loved fixture of the Cardiff local flavour, that even when the market is not in session, you'll find a series of fruit and vegetable sculptures in the same spot. These cross sections of cucumbers and apples can be looked through to see the grand Millennium Stadium beyond. If you're a fan of keeping your carbon footprint as small as possible, then this is the place for you. All of the products on sale here are very high quality and extremely local. This is a fantastic way to while away a Sunday afternoon. The only problem is that I'd like it to be larger with a better selection!

I am a fan of fresh and local produce so when I heard about the market I thought I'd give it a go…read more Me and girlfriends got together and had a wander down to the Market which is on the embankment opposite the Millennium Stadium. It was perfect for a lazy, sunny, Sunday. I have to admit I didn't end up buying much apart from bread and cakes, but they did have a huge selection of cheeses and deli style foods across the 30 odd stalls. It also has craft stores and flowers and really, really good coffee. This is probably not the place for people on a budget to do the weekly shop but a great place to pick up some really special ingredients and a fantastic way to spend an afternoon away from the city centre. Open Sunday 10am- 4pm

Pick your own fruit, including strawberries and raspberries, depending on the time of year, is always popular. There are also special events running during Easter and Halloween, generally involving lots of children running around trying to find things on the farm. Great fun! The farm also makes and sells honey, preserves and wine, which set a high standard in local produce. This is also a bed & breakfast, which I imagine would be very comfortable at any time of the year, given the warm hospitality of the staff and the cosy decor of the farmhouse.

The focus is on fresh food from local producers; its the farmers themselves that are selling you the goods. There's more or less everything you could imagine finding on a farm, with highlights including the various organic meat stalls (v. expensive) and the fruit stalls later in the summer, when you can get some of the recent strawberry crop People know about their goods and love to talk about it. This isn't a supermarket experience and people are keen to have a chat - it's a bit like being in the countryside, funnily enough. It runs on a Wednesday, so if you're working in the city centre (it's based by St. Nicholas Market on Corn Street) treat yourself in your coffee/lunch break and pick up some crusty bread and cheddar cheese. You'll feel much better than you would queueing up with the other suits, even if it does cost a little bit more.

I was taken out for a lunch meeting today, which is a rare treat in my line of work. A friend had…read morerecommended this place so decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed, this a great little farm shop, they have a great selection of deli items, including jams, chutneys etc and sell loads of nice veggies as well as having great meat counter at the end of the shop. The menu was was simple but did not disappoint, they have a selection of breakfast options as well as salads, ploughmans and a sandwich selection on the lunch menu. We both had the smoked trout, it was on the menu as a terrine however we were told they had sold out but could offer a smoked trout salad instead. It was really nice, the Trout had a really nice flavour, and was served with salad and toast, the waitress bought out a couple of salad dressings and oh my god the spiced mango chutney was Devine. My colleague and I both bought a bottle to take home, I don't think it will last very long. We also had a tea for two which gave us about 4 cups each and was great value for money, tea was served in lovely China which always makes tea taste better! I will definitely be visiting again and next time I'll be taking some more money for some yummy treats to take away! Sorry only got a pic of the sauce as I'd left my phone at home.

It's all lovely round here, so it's a great setting- the farm shop sells a variety of local fruit and veg, plus honey, chutneys and chocolate (made very locally in Newton St Loe). There's a butcher too- all the meat is British and most of it is local. You can also get some very fancy cordon bleu ready meals- and I don't mean the kind of thing you'd see in a supermarket. Plus, always a bonus in my eyes, you can take a load off and sit down for a cream tea, or a lovely piece of cake- seating both inside and outside. Lovely little place, good for gifts and for higher-end farm produce.
