Yarm Farmers' Market

A busy couple of days kicked off with Yarm Town Council's annual meeting on Tuesday evening.  Wasting no time in delivering on their pre-election promise, local Conservatives secured the necessary agreement for the return of a farmers' market to the cobbles of Yarm.

The market - arranged in conjunction with the Northern Dales Farmers' Market Association - will be held on the cobbles around the Town Hall on Sunday 24 July 2011, 9am - 3pm.  Further trial events will be held in October and December, and assuming the events are a success we intend to introduce a monthly market thereafter.

I'm sure the market will prove to be a wonderful boon to our area as well as providing valuable support to local farmers during what are very difficult times. 

A huge vote of thanks should go to retiring town councillor Paul Smith for all his hard work in organising the market.
