Brigg and Moseley farmers' markets win top award!

Two farmers' markets this year share the crown of FARMA Farmers' Market of the Year. Brigg Farmers' Market in North Lincolnshire, won the title of Rural Farmers' Market of the Year 2009, while Moseley Farmers' Market in Birmingham won Urban Farmers' Market of the Year at the FARMA Awards Ceremony in November.

The judges were impressed that within just eight years of trading, Brigg farmers' market has revitalized the heart of this picturesque town centre, working across the community to establish a far-reaching reputation for quality and local foods.

The judges also felt Moseley farmers' market to be an exemplary, community focused event. It is large and lively, regularly featuring more than 50 producers selling some excellent quality produce, and has become a monthly meeting point for an average 5,000 people in Birmingham's innercity suburbs.
