Good but not excellent
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!
