North Lincolnshire Council, the organiser, says: "Come along to Brigg Farmers' Market for the freshest local produce around. Meet our friendly producers and get to know the best way to prepare and serve the quality food on sale."
The council is marketing the market during 2014 with the slogan: "Quality local produce and a great market atmosphere."
For the benefit of people reading this post who might not yet have visited our farmers' market, they all run from 9.30am to about 3.30pm and are held in the town centre. Plenty of car parking is available nearby. Or if you live near the Sheffield to Cleethorpes railway line, including Grimsby, Retford and Gainsborough, why not take one of the Saturday trains that call at Brigg station?
First time visitors to Brigg Farmers' Market are also recommended to visit the town's wide range of speciality shops and also our town centre pubs and eating establishments. You can enjoy fish and chips at Scalinis new restaurant or the Hungry Fisherman, have a meal at the Cafe Courtyard or try some pub grub at one of our hostelries which include the Black Bull and the White Horse.

There's a great range of produce available at Brigg Farmers' Market every month
