Kings Langley residents have been enjoying fresh, locally sourced produce for the last 10 years thanks to a unique initiative.
An idea was introduced by the former Transition in Kings group for a market “where all produce should come from within 25 miles of Kings Langley”.
The aim of the market is to “support local producers, reduce food miles and increase awareness of purchasing locally made products”.
With bread from Redbournbury Mill, vegetables grown on Rectory Farm and a range of other stalls, the market rapidly expanded.
While the market had to close during COVID-19, Kings Langley Parish Council gave permission to use the Village Garden to provide adequate social distancing when restrictions were lifted.
The market continues to thrive in the same location, moving to All Saints’ Church in the winter.
King Harvest, a company specialising in growing microgreens, said: “It’s truly inspiring to see the residents of the village come together to support their local producers – it’s a priceless experience.”
The market is run by volunteers. If you would like to join, email johnmorrish@kingslangley-pc.gov.uk
