Farmshops and markets along the Sandstone Trail

Strawberry fields forever: Fresh fruit and vegetables are sold at several farm shops along the Sandstone Trail

As you’d expect, there are Cheshire farm shops and farmers’ markets all along the Sandstone Trail.

Farmers’ Markets

Farmers’ markets are one of the best ways to find and buy local produce.

Local produce can’t be beaten for freshness, variety and taste. It supports the local economy and is as ‘green’ as it gets, with minimal packaging and virtually zero ‘food miles’. Plus, it often tastes amazing.
