Farmers' Markets in Eden

For centuries, farmers made the trek into a town or village to sell their produce at market. The lively markets provided essential food supplies and were an important focus for the local community.

Today, Eden's colourful farmers markets are helping to revive that tradition, by providing quality local produce, sold by the people in the know - the farmers, growers, bakers and makers themselves.

Orton

Second Saturday of each month all year round from 9.30am to 2.30pm

Orton is a traditional fell farming village that nestles in the heart of Eden. This normally tranquil village is transformed on market day by the sights, sounds and smells of a thriving country market.

Over 30 regular stallholders offer a tremendous variety of speciality and award-winning produce - 65% of whom come from within 20 miles of the village.

With live music at most markets, special events such as cookery demonstrations, an award winning chocolate factory on the doorstep, and parking for the disabled, a trip to the award winning Orton farmers market is a great day out for the whole family.
