Regulars at the Camden Produce Markets are aware of the variety of goods sold. But it’s not just a place to but, it’s also a place to stop and have a chat with friends, some who we may see regularly, others we not have seen in a long time. You may even see some minor ( or perhaps major) celebrities.
Having said that, you may be aware that VERY fresh eggs and poultry can be purchased at the market. But did you know that live chickens are available also. And they are very talented chooks indeed! Did you see them?

We are all aware that Produce markets are great places to get your weekly shopping. What else could you find at a produce market? Let your imagination run wild.The only reason you would have to go near a supermarket is to buy toilet paper. Who knows, you may be able to find that too! It can be beautiful.Sometimes it is the actual setting of the produce market, or it may be the drive to it, or both. A great place to grab a drink, a bit of breakfast, even lunch, take a seat and enjoy. Share it with some friends, catch up, chat, or simply relax in the atmosphere. Definitely a plus.
