Sedgefield Farmers Market | Veg, Meat, Cakes, Bread, Spices, Beer and more

When is the market on?

The market is held every first Sunday of the Month from 8.30am to 12.15pm on the Village Green.

Volunteers needed

Sedgefield Farmers Market would like to fill two roles for the busy and successful Sunday market:
1. Market Administrator/Organiser to manage the general running of the market, communicating with stall holders and volunteers
2. Market Manager - to operate on alternate months with the current Manager to ensure smooth operation on the day of the market.

For both roles you will get to work with a great group of people and a handover will ensure that you’re not thrown in the deep end! If you are interested and would like to know more please email us at farmers@sedgefielddevelopmenttrust.co.uk.

About The Market

This popular market hosts around 20 stall holders each month, varying throughout the seasons. Providing locally sourced and produced breads, beverages, fresh fish, meats and vegetables, handmade pies, pastries and cakes, spices and condiments, cheeses and much more. Come along and pay us a visit.

There's sure to be something to whet your appetite. We are delighted to announce that Sedgefield Handbell Ringers will be present and performing at the next Farmers Market on 6 April.

The group meet regularly on Wednesdays on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th weeks of the month, and on a Thursday on the first week of the month, at Ceddesfeld Hall.

JOIN THE TEAM!

Many thanks to Lynne Dentith who has been a huge contributor to the Market team over the past few years.

Wishing Lynne well for her new adventures and a big welcome to Laura Batten from the Balefire team who will be our Market Manager on alternate months.

We’re still seeking a Market Administrator to manage the general running ad communication with stall holders and volunteers.

If you are interested, or would like to know more, please email us at farmers@sedgefielddevelopmenttrust.co.uk.

Charity and Community Stall (FREE)

One free charity or community stall is available for suitable organisations each month. In most months from April to December we also offer a free pitch to a musician or musical group. Very occasionally we may make another stall available. If you would like your charity or group to have a free stall please contact us at charitystall@sedgefielddevelopmenttrust.co.uk

Are you looking to Trade at our Market?

If you would like a pitch at our Market you should contact the Market Organiser, Lynne Dentith, contacts as above. Please bear in mind:
*That it is a producers market, that is to say all the stall holders have grown, baked, made, brewed, etc. the produce they sell. We encourage customers to ask about the product's provenance.

* That we try to always provide a wide range of produce for our customers, and will try to add to the range rather than increase the number of people selling similar products.

Parlour Made Cheese

Village Farm Dairy is set in 240 acres near Sedgefield, County Durham, a family farm run by Neil & Carol Peacock. The dairy herd consists of 120 Holstein /Friesian cows all of which were all born on the farm. The family are passionate about herd welfare which ensures consistent high quality milk and every cow is known by name and family history.

After many months of extensive research and planning Neil & Carol decided to diversify into handmade artisan cheese made using their own farm assured milk. The fresh morning’s milk is piped no further than 20 feet from the milking parlour into the cheese vat in the new purpose build cheese dairy, where cheesemaking begins.

All of the cheeses are fully traceable with handling and packing done on the farm – the only food miles are incurred at delivery stage.

Carol has spent most of her career teaching cookery as well as helping out on the farm. She attended agricultural College in Cheshire to learn the art of cheesemaking under the expert eye of Christine Ashby and has spent many months since perfecting her cheeses.

This is very much a family business – Neil milks the cows, Carol makes the cheese with children Joe and Georgia helping out on weekends and school holidays. Our cheese can be found in local farm shops, delis, hotels and restaurants.
