Orford Country Market - 14 May 2011

During my long weekend in Orford I was looking forward to visiting the Orford Country Market again and it did not disappoint.

The Market operates 9.30 am - 12.30pm, every Saturday morning in the Town Hall, Orford, Suffolk, IP12 2NZ. As well as yummy hot food, teas and coffees there is a wide selection of cakes, preserves, eggs, truffles, plants, herbs, books, knitwear, jewellery, home furnishings and more! All set in the beautiful village hall.

The photo below shows some of Jenny Cooper's amazing handmade cushions and quilts. Jenny makes everything herself from her studio in Suffolk and even has a bespoke service that allows you to turn your most treasured clothes into treasured memories. The photos do not do them justice but you should check out her website on the link above.

Some of the many delicious cakes on offer.

Lovely homemade jams.

Lots of marmalade, chutney and more jam.

Next up are B Chocolates, who offer delicious handmade honey truffles made from their own honey collected from hard-working Suffolk bees. They also have sea-salt caramels and other fine chocolates made from Suffolk produce wherever possible and everything is made free of any artificial flavours or preservatives.

There are many different herbs and plants available.

I didn't get any photos of Gedgrave Wensleydale's lovely items as she was busy and I wanted to ask her permission before taking any photos but you will have to trust me that they are gorgeous. The link to the website is above but there is also a fun blog which tells you all about their lovely Wensleydale sheep that produce the wool that their products are made from. The products range from brooches, gloves, hats, jumpers and more.

It's really nice to see the Market and hear how well they are doing, I really recommend that you check it out!

and remember...
it's not your chutney...
it's Smy Chutney.
