Spring will definitely be in the air at Haverfordwest‘s special Good Friday Farmers’ Market on April 2nd betweem 9am and 3pm.
Nearly 30 local producers will be selling a wide range of fresh produce, including new season lamb, beef and turkey for Easter Sunday lunch.
Easter specials include Pembrokeshire hogget – a more mature mountain lamb – chocolate and chilli Easter sausage, and French-trimmed rack of lamb with a free pack of lamb mince.
Choose from freshly picked leeks and parsnips, as well as more unusual Pembrokeshire-grown vegetables including Russian kale, spinach, palm cabbage and salad turnips.
Don’t miss the home-made hot cross buns with apple and cinnamon, Easter bunny gingerbreads, and Simnel cakes, slices and muffins.
There’s also butterfly and duck-shaped Easter chocolates, luxury Easter cheesecakes, hot cross rum truffles and chocolate easter egg cake.
Or if you’re planning a Bank holiday picnic, take your pick from a wonderful array of local produce; from dressed crab to award-winning pork pies, smoked trout paté, quiches, speciality breads, cakes, and local cheese.
“Instead of the usual chocolate Easter eggs, why not put together a basket of goodies for family and friends?” said Kate Morgan, market manager and Food Officer for Pembrokeshire County Council.
Local nurseries have plenty of spring inspiration, with salad and vegetable plants ready to sow over Easter, camellias, rhododendrons and spring herbaceous plants, – plus arrays of beautiful home-grown daffodils.
There’s also a very popular children’s Easter Egg hunt between 10.30am and 1pm, every child gets an egg and all children are welcome.
Waste Awareness Team from Pembrokeshire County Council will be attending the market with information and tips on recycling, and members of Frame will also be there, with an assortment of wooden products.
Haverfordwest Farmers Market is run by Pembrokeshire County Council and held at Riverside Shopping every other Friday.
