Larches
Community Market is a locally organised and managed market aiming
to include quality, ethically produced food and original crafts to our
community. Stallholders are chosen for their proximity to the market, their
sustainable food production methods, and interest in quality produce and
products.
We will be steered by the wishes of the local
community, and encourage local people, producers and community groups to
participate. Larches Community is
particularly keen to encourage craft makers and other unusual items. We will be selling our own Social Enterprise
crafts made by people with learning disabilities and autism.
Stalls
will include:
- Smoothies - made from a bicycle driven smoothie maker.
- Woods bakery - breads and scones and pastry
- Local honey and beeswax products
- Ballentye farm bio dynamic soft fruits, vegetables and eggs
- Blackwater - a coffee cart to die for!
- Cheese and cakes
- Craft Stalls
- Vintage clothes and handbags
- Cookery Demonstration
Please let us know what other stalls would you like
to see?
Our Aims
- We want to give budding entrepreneurs a chance to try out their retail ideas and to help bring communities more opportunities.
·
We are keen to encourage local people to come
together with mutually beneficial aims.
·
We want to encourage the West side of Barnet
Borough to be more of a hub of the community.
·
We want to support community cohesion and provide a
living model of an alternative, more sustainable way to feed ourselves.
Additional Support
We would like to offer to support your craft and to
provide a chance for the people you support to see how a market place works and
maybe to get involved.
Do
you or someone you know have a craft product that you are looking to promote
and develop? We would like to support you in your exciting venture.
We
have a business entrepreneur who has offered his business support to local
budding entrepreneurs. Book yourself
a stall & see where your business goes!
Our Future
We
believe there are endless possibilities depending on what people can do, and
that most people can do more than they
think they can!
We hope Larches Community Market will help to
inspire people to think ‘outside the box’, to learn more about where our food
comes from, gain experience of how to develop business ideas, and enjoy a sense
of community and belonging.
With support of local people, we hope that the
market will thrive and grow. Many traders have expressed an interest in having
a stall and we are planning to encourage more local traders to get involved. If
you are one of these people, please do get in touch.
