Hexham Farmers' Market is held on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month in Hexham Market Place, running from 9.00am to 1.30pm. All the stallholders are local producers coming from within a fifty mile radius of Hexham and offering a wide range of produce, including rare breed pork and beef, organic vegetables and lamb, fresh mussels, hand smoked game, homemade soups, jams and pickles, fresh bread and pies, herbs and traditionally-made local cheeses. Hand-made soaps and natural skin care products are also available. Hexham Farmers Market was named the best in the country by the National Farmers Union.
