The reputation of Totnes as a hip and happening supportive community of the ethically minded is under fire as the monthly farmers market is set to close down, with Saturday’s being the last.
Only five people are reported to be getting their groceries from the market.
It isn’t only Totnes farmers market that’s suffering, the Ivybridge market closed in April, but the Dartmouth and Kingsbridge markets are still going strong, apparently.
There are plans to create a Totnes Food and Farming Network, featuring farmers, producers and retailer, with the hope of putting the impetus back into the local food scene.
Farmer John Sherrell told the Western Morning News: “We are sorry the farmers’ market in Totnes is closing. We do need to find new ways to ensure that locally-produced food reaches local retailers and residents so I welcome the creation of this network.”
