The one thing you have to try is the ostrich burger with cheese and onion - yummy!!! This is sold on the stall which is situated right outside the centre by the entrance.

Indoor stalls include a great mushroom bonanza (loads of different mushroom on sale), breads, cakes, meat, sausages, a variety of vegetables, honeys, wax products, leather products such as belts, purses , chocolates, soaps Outside there is normally a van that sells a variety of fish, pancake stall - yummy pancakes freshly made in front of you, bird tables, plants, meat As you can see - there is a variety of products on sale - plenty to choose from.

On the 4th Sunday of every month the Lark Lane Farmers Market takes place. It is set up at the…read moreAigburth Road end of Lark Lane and curves round onto the paved area of Aigburth Road. There is always an excellent mix of stall here selling produce such as sweets, plants, coffee, cheeses, specialist sausages, specialist meats, beers, smoothies, cakes, black & white pudding and much much more. Many of the stalls have free samples to try and the smell that emits from the market is delicious. The produce on sale is often more expensive than you would find in supermarkets but this is to be expected. The produce is of an excellent quality and you wont find many of the specialist items in supermarkets at all. This is a great addition to the Lark Lane community.

Drinkers mill about with students - presuming there's a difference between the two - and "dedicated followers of fashion". What a perfect place for a farmers market. This market, held on the last Saturday of every month, is bigger than its counterpart in Woolton Village, although it does suffer slightly in comparison as half of it is on the edge of busy Aigburth road. A great plant stall selling lovely and unusual bushes at very decent prices greets those who enter the market from Lark Lane. The kind of stall Woolton is missing out on. There's myriad cake and bakery stalls selling pasties, pies, pastries and bread and the ever present Savin Hill Farm meat stall, which sells sausages presumably butchered in Heaven. Last time I went, today (28 August), there was a fantastic flower stall with some of the sunniest sunflower bouquets I've ever seen for a mere £3. A very good place to visit every now and again, but it rarely changes, which is a shame.

Moseley Farmers Market takes over the village green every fourth Saturday of the month, and holds…read morethe perfect little community vibe for all who love to indulge in fresh food and organic produce. I've been attending the market for over three years now, and I rarely miss a month. The stalls always draw me back when I'm needing a healthy variation to my diet, and the price range is perfect value for money. Specifically regarding the Beans & Leaves stall, which sells a wide range of both coffee beans and loose teas. Most of these infusions rarely reach the £4 mark for 100g, which results in more than enough tea for two for several months! The tea stall holder himself is a bubbly yam yam who'll immediately strike up a conversation. It's just a shame that his stall is on the windiest part of Moseley, meaning that a lot of his tea ends up at the other side of the market! But of course, on first visit, you'll want to sample everything. Whether this be jam, ostrich burgers, bakery, alcohol or cheese (in fact, I highly recommend the Warwickshire Truckle), there's literally something for everyone. I've also tried a range of unlikely produces which sometimes appear at the market, such as a piece of fruit called a quince, and a green tea cake, both equally as delicious as the other. As a worthy winner of "best farmers market in the UK 2012", Moseley Farmers Market is a treasury to Birmingham and brings a tasteful locality to the streets of Moseley.

Moseley farmers market is an award winning market held in the central square of Moseley. I had been…read moremeaning to get down for months before I finally managed it this Saturday... And I wasn't disappointed. The market is exactly what you would want a medium to large sized market to be. Offering a huge range of locally sourced goods sold to you by the actual producers of the items, you can get most things you would need to stock up the fridge, freezer and cupboards (with a good amount of locally made crafty things too). It's in a pretty setting and has a lovely community feel to it. We managed to find parking in the small shopping area just up from St Mary's Row at around 9:15am, but parking could be a bit of a nightmare if you were getting here later. The square area offered braces of pheasants for £6, cheese, wine, condiments and artisan food products and the High Street area (which we hadn't realised was there until we were leaving - D'oh) offers more of a crafty element. We had a nice little poke around the stalls and chatted to many of the business owners about their products and they were more than happy to talk to us and advise where the items are made and the ingrediants that go into them. We got some lovely locally made fizzy red wine (Did you know there are vineyards in the Midlands?) for £10 a bottle, some hot sauce from Pip's and was very tempted by cakes and unusual scotch eggs... We are definitely planning to go back. If you haven't been, you must go. Get there early if you're planning to drive but the buses down to Moseley drop you off right in the thick of the action, do that might be the best idea.

In the middle there is also a selection of chocolates to die for along with a mini bakery with freshly made Welsh cakes and bread.

There's also a cafe, icecream parlour, wine shop and bee centre located right outside so everyone should be able to find something to suit their taste.

Although the Bodnant Food Centre is only a few miles from home until today we'd never visited. It's…read morethe sort of place you need to go out of your way to get to and in any case we'd heard mixed reviews of the place. However one quiet Saturday afternoon we needed something to pass an hour and with nowhere else to go we turned south down the Conwy Valley and headed for Furnace Farm. The centre essentially comprises three parts for visitors the Hay Loft Restaurant, The Furnace Tea-Room and the Furnace Farm Shop. There are however other parts of the business including a cookery school and a bee keeping centre. We didn't try either the restaurant or tea-rooms on our visit but instead headed for the shop. My first impression was that it was bigger than I'd expected, it's maybe the size of an average convenience store but for some reason I'd expected a tiny little room. There's everything you'd expect from a shop like this including meat, veg, dairy produce, preserves, cakes, beer and all manner of cooking ingredients. Surprisingly for a Welsh food centre some of the produce wasn't Welsh, I spotted produce from Shropshire, Gloucestershire and Yorkshire amongst others, but most of the stock is Welsh. There's some genuinely local produce too including beer from the Great Orme Brewery which misleadingly isn't located on the Great Orme but is in fact located about a mile to the north of Furnace Farm on the outskirts of Glan Conwy. They also stock preserves from Baravelli's of Conwy and cakes from Swigr a Sbeis and Ty Hwnt I'r Bont, both of which are located just down the valley in Llanrwst. They also stock locally reared meat and game, some of which is reared on the Bodnant Estate and rest elsewhere in the Conwy Valley. What isn't surprising is that the prices are often a bit hefty, this isn't somewhere many people will go to do the weekly shop. We bought a few items (mainly Great Orme beer!) but I think for most normal families this is somewhere to purchase couple of treats rather than do any substantial shopping. In many ways it's more of a tourist attraction than a shop for the locals and I'm sure they'll be looking to attract coach parties to boost their trade. Although we will no doubt return at some point in time it's not likely to be anytime soon. However I do hope the business succeeds. It does provide much needed employment in a rural area and also provides a place for local food produces to sell their wares so it's not all bad.

Apley Farm Shop opened its doors to the public on Thursday 31st March 2011 and features, as well as…read morethe farm shop itself, a café and a kids' playbarn. We decided to visit today to check out all three. We had been fortunate enough to be invited to a special pre-opening event at the playbarn a couple of weeks earlier, so we already had an idea what kind of thing to expect. We were not disappointed! As farm shops go, Apley raises the bar and sets a new standard. Housed in beautifully converted original farm buildings it's airy, spacious and very well laid out. I was responsible for trying to keep a sixteen month old in check, so wasn't able to take a close look at much of the produce on sale, but it's generally what you would expect from a high class delicatessen/farm shop, including some more unusual fare, like venison chorizo. Produce is generally locally sourced, including beef and game directly from Apley estate itself. I don't do cafés, as I much prefer pubs, but this café is going to be an exception to that rule. Simple offerings, such as sandwiches, quiches, ploughmans' and so on, but the quality is exceptional. There's a kids' section on the menu, which steers clear of the deep fried stodge you find in far too many places. As you would expect, there's a tempting array of cakes and other sweet treats that all looked good. There's a range of red and white wines as well as the usual teas, coffees and some very nice soft drinks. I would like to see bottled ales available and noticed that they sell a range of local ones from Hobsons and Woods in the shop. A bottle of Town Crier would have slipped down nicely today. The playbarn is currently the final piece in the jigsaw, although I believe that they plan to open a business centre here too. My wife is the expert on playbarns, having been to most of the local ones, but I gather this one is a little different to the rest. Kids' birthday parties are confined to separate, private rooms, which I think is a great idea. The seating area is therefore made up of comfy leather sofas with coffee tables and café style chairs and tables, all for grown ups, with complimentary newspapers and magazines provided. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, soft drinks, ice cream and cakes are sold from the counter. Oh yes, the play section itself... well I enjoyed it, so it must be good! I'm pleased to see there's no ball pit, as I think these are just germ magnets. In summary, I hope nobody reads this review as we would like to keep the place a secret, thank you very much!
