Axminster Country

Us old ladies are a bit confused about this jam jar that got handed in - we think you have a fan in Axminster @ShawnMendes !

Goose eggs yesterday - the joy of eating seasonally!

This was a small selection of last week - come and see what we have tomorrow!

@eversfieldorg @veg_box @farmersforaweek @cookscooking are all about real food & getting people nearer to the producers, so we think this whole scheme is fantastic!

If you would like to attend @farmersforaweek's dinner at Powderham Castle please email events@farmsforcitychildren.or - All proceeds will provide muck & magic for inner-city children! An exciting event for a wonderful cause! 😊

@KirstieMAllsopp Have you ever been to a Country Market? 100 years this year of crafting, cooking and growing! It’s a producers co-op with a turnover of millions, and EVERYTHING is homemade, home cooked and homegrown! Please find you nearest (or us!) and check it out! #craft

Worried about excess packaging? Our #homegrown veg has minimal packaging, our #homemade crafts come in paper bags, if any, and we reuse jam jars etc for our preserves. All complies with legal regs, but it’s easy to #reduce #reuse #recycle!

Evening #dorsethour Are you visiting Dorset this summer? Support your local growers & makers by shopping at @AxminsterCooks All homemade & homegrown, minimal packaging & very friendly!

Hello #DevonHour ! Lots of lovely flowers for market tomorrow! #homegrown #grownnotflown

We keep packaging to an absolute minimum, but there is some that’s unavoidable for food hygiene reasons. Did you know lots of the flimsy bags can be recycled through the carrier bag facility?

We’ve decided to close this week - sorry for any inconvenience, but we don’t want our customers coming a cropper if the weather is as bad as advertised! See you next week

We had a lovely final market of 2017 today, with lots of familiar faces and a few new customers. We wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a home-made 2018! See you back on the 18th Jan for our new season!

Lots of greenery today!

Strong winds coming > you need to be safe > you need to be heavy > you need to eat cake. Join us from 8.30am-12 tomorrow, we will have all the cake you need! #StormCaroline

Just changed our bank account to @NatWestBusiness and now they’re closing our branch. Thanks a bunch. What are real life humans supposed to do with real life money? So much for supporting local businesses

A fab evening at @LightUpAx telling people all about what we do! #homemade #eatlocal

TASTING DAY THIS THURSDAY! Come and sample puddings, cakes, pies, pickles and more at the market this week, and order for fresh, home-made treats this Christmas! #homemade #eatseasonal

Tomorrow is our Christmas Craft special- come and see our quality & variety and meet the makers, many take commissions! #HandmadeHour #homemade

I’ve just made an amazing roasted squash, garlic & Bramley soup - I may have to bring a squash to market so that you can have a go too!

#CMLFood First batch of well soused Christmas Puddings on the cooker. Ready for Axminster market Thursday
