Everyone in Bristol sounds like farmers so for a proper Bristolian experience a trip to the city's…read morefarmers market is a good idea. 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 am wheat intolerant and found a great selection of delicious rye and spelt bread freshly baked.

From locally baked bread, handmade jams and chutneys, free-range eggs and meat, fruit and veg picked that morn, beautiful local cheeses, home-made cakes and bakes to local craftspeople selling pottery and bags. There's something for everyone at this very much loved market and even music too! A must for any discerning foodie who is interested in local, sustainable food.

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.

The food trucks / shops are especially this eclectic range from Caribbean to Turkish and everything in between. If I have one complaint, it's that the market closes up at 5pm on a Saturday and I wish it would stay open later! There's two special quirks about this building that are especially also worth checking out; 1) The clock has an extra minute hand! That's apparently a remnant of the train friendly Victorian days, when Bristol had its own time zone that was different from Greenwich Medium time which is what the London trains would run. 2) if you look up towards the ceiling in the main hall, the sculptures of the heads all look towards the middle, except for two which are turning their heads to look at each other. Rumour has it this is because those two women were the wife and mistress of the building's architect! I very much enjoyed checking out this market! Yelp 161/ 2019

The shop has been expanded to include a cafe and a butcher's, and you can pick up a wide range of fresh fruits and vegetables, bakery items, meat, free-range eggs, dairy products and the ingredients to make your own meals and breads. There is also a wide range of tea, coffee, sweets, niche items and seasonal treats to tempt you. They also have a frozen section so you can purchase food to cook at a later date, and seasonal fruits when out of season. The staff are very friendly, and helpful. Children are welcome to help feed the pigs (buckets outside have food for the children to do this) and there is a small play area to keep them busy on a nice day. There are also plants and flowers available to purchase in the front of the shop as well as in an organic section of land behind the shop. It's well worth a trip to visit

The store itself has the most fabulous range of fresh produce, the fruit and vegetables are always so fresh and more importantly taste of the fruit they are supposed to. They have a really good selection of meats and the meat is particularly well priced. All the top quality food manufacturers are sold here, all quite expensive but then when it tastes so good you only need a small amount. They do freezer meals, but not like ready made tonnes of additives - real food, and their fresh breads are amazing. There is a small cafe selling beautiful cakes and it is well worth a visit.

Packert Butchers is known in these parts for its sausages. Hardly surprising being a butcher shop you may think, but the extent to which different sausages are produced here is really quite interesting. From Italian to Hungarian, all sausage styles have been mastered here in what they call their 'mini sausage factory'. As one would expect for such an outstanding business that's been here for twelve years all the meat is fresh, local and where possible, organic. Open before and after you go to work, this is a clean, fresh and professional butcher. Little reason not to visit then unless, well, you're a vegetarian.

I struggled to find a butcher around here that would beat Packerts for quality and value. Although I don't live close by anymore Its definitely worth a trip back to stock up the freezer.

Everything you need for a Sunday roast in fact. I spent £10 and got a huge piece of pork, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, chillis and 6 free range eggs and a pint of milk from their cows. Not bad! Only really accessible from Bristol by car, when you arrive you're greeted by a friendly old sheep dog and several honking geese, evidence that yes, this is a fully working and very traditional farm. The buildings are rustic stone, there's mud in the yard and horses and cows in the fields. Lovely - and you won't see that at your local supermarket. The cheese counter is especially well stocked and there are plenty of homemade chutneys and pickles to go with it. Tempting treats include cakes and organic crisps and chocs. The staff are more than happy to help you find what you want, even late on a Sunday. A genuinely lovely place to buy your groceries.
