"Truly local food sold by the people who produce it"

Farmers' markets are special because the food there must be from the local area and sold by the people who produce it. Bought-in produce is not allowed.

Huntingdon Farmers' Market is a Certified Farmers' Market, which means that it is independently inspected and certified to the standards set by the National Farmers' Retail and Markets Association (FARMA). Certified Farmers' Markets are recognised by the FARMA logo.

The produce at Huntingdon Farmers’ Market come from within a 30 miles radius, going up to 50 miles for products that cannot be sourced more locally. Every item sold must contain local ingredients. Guest Producers from more than 50 miles away are permitted to attend the market if their product cannot be found locally. Under FARMA rules, each Guest Producer may only attend on a non-regular basis.
Huntingdon Farmers' Market was established in April 2003. Huntingdon Town Partnership is proud of the high-quality Farmers' Market in the town and the part we played in helping Huntingdonshire District Council to set it up and maintain the high profile of the award winning Market. We continue to support the market, particularly through a strong involvement in promoting it and the benefits it brings for the shoppers, farmers and producers who trade there.
