Crediton Farmers Market
www.creditonfarmersmarket.com/

Saturday 7th June 2008 - Crediton Farmers Market
Market Square Crediton Devon EX17
10 am - 1 pm

Held on the first Saturday of every month between 10 am and 1 pm, Crediton Farmers' Market takes place on the new Market Square in Crediton, which was designed and built with the market in mind.  

With a wide range of organic and conventional produce available, including meat, fish, seasonal fruit and vegetables, dairy products, cakes, plants, apple juice, cider, pottery, cards and woven baskets, and with virtually all stallholders living less than 5 miles from the market, Crediton has one of the most local farmers' markets in the county.  

Although we do have to occasionally look further afield in order to keep the market as fresh and interesting as possible, produce does not travel more than around 30 miles at most, and the result is one of the finest farmer's markets in the county, a fact recognised by the readers of Devon Life magazine who recently voted Crediton Farmers' Market Best Market of the Year for the second time in three years.

Devon English Wine Week
Yearlstone Vineyard
www.devonwineweek.co.uk/

Saturday 24th May to Sunday 1st June 2008 - Devon English Wine Week

Devon now has close to 30 vineyards, many planted in the last few years as the English wine boom has gathered pace. It's estimated Devon wines have already captured 1% of the wine market in their home region. The Exeter area is a particular hotspot - many vineyards are as yet too new to take part in the Wine Week, but Yearlstone, Pebblebed, Manstree, Sharpham, Kenton, Old Walls, Willhayne and Summermoor vineyards have joined together to promote their regional wines and to celebrate Devon's local food and wine culture, in what's believed to be the biggest regional celebration of English Wine Week

Yearlstone Vineyard near Bickleigh has just been named Fastest Improving Vineyard in England in the presitigious Wine Report 2008. Sharpham Vineyard near Totnes is now selling in excess of 100,000 bottles a year. Kenton Vineyard near Exeter sold out its first vintage rapidly and is producing some excellent English reds. Pebblebed Vineyard near Topsham won a Gold Medal with its first rosé at the English & Welsh Wine of the Year competition. Old Walls, Manstree and others are also making waves in the English wine world.

Over the week, there will be something taking place every single day, at the vineyards and participating outlets. A host of different activities, both informative and entertaining, are being laid on for your enjoyment, giving a wide range of opportunities to get to know these many award-winning wines better, and really see just how versatile and delicious they are.  For example, following the 2007 Challenge where Devon wines took on the best from New Zealand, the main event of this year's Devon Wine Week will be "Devon's Sparkling Wines vs Champagne" on Wednesday 28th May hosted by Master of Wine Alastair Peecles at the Devon Wine School in Cheriton Fitzpaine, judged to professional standards by some of the top names in the profession.

Farmers' markets give food producers and farmers the opportunity to sell their produce directly to the public. Farmers markets and community supported agricultural projects are growing in number and popularity across the country. Buying directly helps provide social, economic and environmental benefits for everyone, providing a local social event, valuable income for smaller producers, and reducing food miles.

Wellington is fortunate to have both a monthly farmers' market and the more regular Wellington Market. Wellington Market is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The contact number for Wellington Market is 01952 242019

Sunday 15th to Saturday 21st June 2008 - Learning Disability Week

This year’s learning disability week is 15th to 21st June 2008. It will be around employment.

Many people complain about the routine of working 9-5, but many people with a learning disability just want the opportunity to work.

Mencap’s 9-5 campaign will be asking employees to look around and ask why there are no people with learning disability working with them.

Mencap will be raising awareness of the problem and asking employers to take on people with a learning disability.
