London Farmers' Markets is an organisation operating certified Farmers' markets in Greater London.
The organisation was set up in 1999 by the food writer Nina Planck, based on her experience of selling produce from her family farm at Farmers' Markets in Virginia, USA. The first Farmers' Market set up by LFM in London was in Islington in 1999, quickly followed by Farmers' Markets in Notting Hill, Blackheath, Peckham and Swiss Cottage.
The Islington Farmers' Market is still running, having moved location more than once. It now takes place on the historic Chapel Market site every Sunday.[1]
There are now 20 Farmers' Markets operated by LFM in London,[2] all of which are certified by FARMA.
