MANY people these days are looking for alternative diets, whether from nutritional or lifestyle preferences or ecological and environmental concerns.

The Teignmouth Farmers’ Market every last Saturday of the month is a great place to find just the foods to support this.

The Veggie Deli has a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan foods ready prepared. So if just one member of the family needs such an option you can select a suitable meal for them or for the entire family.

Others may need gluten free options for their comfort or dietary requirements. Have a closer look at Pat-a-Cake bakery’s gluten free selection or Red Earth Kitchen for savoury pasties and pies made without gluten. Please be aware both are made in a kitchen that also bakes with regular flour.

Shillingford Organics grows certified organic vegetables on the farm just outside Exeter and supplies weekly ‘box’ schemes for pick up. Please talk to Farmer Martin for further details.

The market’s meat trailer from Beardon Farm sells only the meat they raise from the pastures on their farm in the Teign Valley: all the pork, Dexter beef, and lamb come from their grass fed animals.

Keeping it local, keeping it real, and keeping you and the planet healthy. Check out the Teignmouth Farmers’ Market Facebook page for details of all the producers and other market news.

The market is in the town Triangle from 10am to 2pm this Saturday, 25 February.
