There will be some new traders at this coming weekend's Somerset Farmers Market which is held outdoors.

Joining the return, a Frome local drinks company and a special stress-free pig farmer from near Wells.

The team behind the market which will be held at The Hollies on Saturday February 6, say that they are hoping that some new names and faces will bring a little warmth and colour to an otherwise chilly month.

The market will be introducing 'Pig Patch Pigs' from near Wells. This will be Carly Master's first farmers market selling pork products from her Oxford Sandy Blacks a traditional breed of pig recently brought back from near extinction and famed for the quality of its meat known as the Plum Pudding of Pigs.

Carly, who has been breeding them for seven years told Nub News : " Breeding and rearing pigs is a rewarding experience, they all have such individual personalities, seeing them live stress free life's producing quality local meat from happy pigs whilst supporting a rare breed. "

The market will have Friary Drinks and The Still Sisters are based in Frome (www.friarydrinks.co.uk) and have been producing their own gins, vodkas ,rums & cocktails since 1996.

Wookey goat Farm are currently waiting for their pregnant goats to kid and so have no milk to make cheese at the moment, so the Bath Soft Cheese Company is invited to be the cheese guests.
