Stoke Newington Farmers' Market

Today I went to this charming farmers' market in Stoke Newington, which is in North London. It is not far from where I live and thank goodness, because I definitely plan to go back for weekly grocery runs! It is a very small farmers' market, but it has a good variety of locally sourced products.

There were a few of stands with desserts, and most notable among them was Nico B Chocolates. The owner, a chocolatier, fortunately relocated from San Francisco to treat us Londoners to his divine creations. There were also a few butchers. At one of the butchers, I bought some buffalo steaks and cheese. Plus, there's even a fishmonger! Add to that multiple vegetable stands.

At one mushroom stand, I also bought a mushroom sandwich. Delicious! The owner cooks the mushrooms with pesto and puts them on bread with grated cheese over the whole creation. There are several such stands where you can buy a bite to eat. With my love of street food, that sure is a winner for me...

The market takes place every Saturday from 10 AM to 2:30 PM at William Patten School, on Stoke Newington Church Street, N16.
