DitsyDaisyChain's profile

A farmers' market is one in which local farmers or producers sell their own produce. All products sold should have been grown, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked, smoked or processed by the stallholder. FARMA, the National Farmers' Retail & Markets Association, independently assesses and certifies the markets so you can be confident you are supporting your local community and economy, and reducing your food miles.

Did you know: Similar to that for your fridge and washing machine, an independent labelling system now rates cars on their environmental performance. You can use this information to choose a low-carbon car, preferably one with a rating of A or B.

Did you know: We all use different amounts of water at home but homes without meters all pay the same rate, based on our property's rateable value. If you only use small amounts of water then shifting to a meter may cut your bills as you only pay for the water you use. It is free to switch and you could save up to 5-10% off your water bill. You can check on the Uswitch website to find out if you can get a water meter fitted in your area.
