Anthony Worrall Thompson passionate about local food

We are FIVE! Windsor Farmers’ Market celebrates its fifth birthday on Saturday 6 March at its permanent location in St Leonard’s Road, Windsor.
Local restaurateur and celebrated TV chef Anthony Worrall Thompson who is a passionate advocate of local food for local people will meet shoppers and stall-holders, and cut the birthday cake. Diane Harker who manages the market on behalf of Thames Valley Farmers' Market Co-operative says: “The last five years have flown by and the market is better than ever. More and more local people come to the market because they know they can buy genuine local produce with a known provenance. “We’re very grateful to the Windsor & Eton Town Partnership for all they did to initiate the market and their continuing support for local producers and the local economy. St Leonard’s Road is a good site and we’re established here with other local businesses. I expect we will have a market in Peascod Street on certain occasions, but St Leonard’s Rd is ‘home turf’.” Cllr Colin Rayner, Lead Member Highways and Streetcare and local farmer welcomes the continuing tradition of a monthly farmers’ market: “This is very much part of the Windsor shopping scene and a welcome attraction for visitors as well as a regular venue for local shoppers. It brings the countryside into Windsor and supports farmers as well as local businesses.” |
