Launched by Food Exeter in June, and attracting around 1,000 visitors on its first day, the monthly market aims to increase access to nutritious, healthy food for Exeter residents and visitors.

The August market will offer local produce from Shillingford Organics and Sharpham Cheese, baked goods from The Sidwell Street Bakehouse and Fika Exeter, meats from West Town Farm and Little Mead Meats and fish from Greendale Farm Shop.

Local beer, herbal tea, chutneys and honey as well as artisan soap, flowers, plants and wooden bowls will all also be on sale.

It depends on readers like you to sustain our reporting by contributing a small amount each month.

Lots of people currently chip in like this, but it's not enough to cover our costs. We need more paying subscribers to continue publishing.
