LUDLOW’S farmers’ market, the Ludlow Local Produce Market, will be making an appearance on BBC1’s Farmers’ Country Showdown on Wednesday, January 13.
The film crew spent many days filming in and around Ludlow having picked out two stallholders who produce their own food and drink.
One was Hare Hill Farm, a relatively new grower of local vegetables based in the Shropshire Hills, and Fletchers, which make multiple award-winning cider.
Both are regular traders at the farmers market, which runs all year round on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month.
Tish Dockerty, market manager for the farmers’ market says: “The production company were keen to speak to holders of stalls that are truly ‘field to fork’, who either grow their own and sell it all, or add value by making it into something like cider.”
