The Kelso Farmers Market

Good but not excellent 29th May 2008

I really wanted 3.5 star option but erred on the side of generosity. I am a huge fan of farmers markets and this is a good one to know about. Somehow though I was not dazzled by the energy of the market (how do I measure that? just gut feeling really) but certainly worth a visit and I give it all my support. Kelso is a very pretty town and the farmers market nestles in the central square just in front of the Town Hall.

There is plenty of local veg, fish, meats, cheeses etc and a few novel stands too: a local cupcake maker (are they fashionable or what right now?) and one stand selling Rape Seed Oil (which it is claimed is the savvy oil to use and in many repsects more healthy than Olive Oil).

Only things to really know:
- Every 4th Saturday of every month except July and December (for some reason)
- Wide range of Borders products
- Open from 9.30am until 1.30pm

Every farmers market should have a cupcake stall!

I see you were there in May. As the local cheese stallholder, can I comment it was one of the coldest, dreichest days I have stood at Kelso - I was ill for a fortnight after! Had you been there yesterday (24 August 08), you would have seen a real "buzz", pleasant weather, people standing chatting in the Square, visitors and locals alike enjoying the ambience (and cupcakes!). PS She also does savoury muffins to enjoy with our cheese!
