Exciting future as traders take over Haverfordwest Farmers Market
--
It is an exciting time for the popular Haverfordwest Farmers Market as the traders officially take over the running of the weekly market at Castle Square.
Pembrokeshire County Council, with help from PAVS, have aided traders to become independently operated through a registered Community Interest Company.
The move means the Farmers Market, first set up by the Council in 1999, can continue to grow and access other funding options previously not available.
Carla Thomas, Chair of the Haverfordwest Farmers Market, said: “Becoming a Community Interest Company allows us to focus on our mission of supporting local producers and creating a sustainable food system.
"We look forward to growing with our producers and customers as an independent farmers market, creating a vibrant hub for fresh food and community engagement."
"We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Council for their unwavering support over the years. Their guidance has been instrumental in our growth."
Joe Welch, Food Development Officer and former Market Manager at Pembrokeshire County Council, said: “Having worked with the Haverfordwest Farmers Market for over 20 years, I am delighted to see this next exciting chapter for the market.
“It’s a lovely market with a diverse range of local produce and a great mix of producers, and I hope that it will be well supported and continue to go from strength to strength in the future.”
Peter Lord, Principal Business Support Officer, added: “The Farmers Market brings quality produce and vibrancy to the county town.
“Supporting the market now they are independent is essential to help them grow and build upon the years of hard work. It is exciting times ahead.”
The market celebrated its 20th year in 2019 and is now one of the longest running markets in Wales.
The market will continue to operate every Friday, 9am – 2pm on Castle Square.
