The Country Markets organisation has been running since 1919, when the Agricultural Organisation Society (now DEFRA) sponsored the setting up of co-operative markets to sell surplus produce.
 
There are currently more than 350 Country Markets throughout the country with 12 in Norfolk. Country Markets Ltd and all the Country Market Societies are registered as Industrial & Provident Societies with the Financial Services Authority.

We are a membership-based co-operative social enterprise that enables individual members to sell their home-made, home-grown and hand-crafted produce direct to the general public under the Country Markets label. Any one over the age of 16 can become a member and sell their wares through the markets, provided they meet the guidelines laid down by the organisation.
 
Reepham Country Market has now been established for 26 years, trading on a Wednesday morning from 8 am to 11 am in the Bircham Centre, selling home-baked cakes and savouries, bread, jams, chutneys, eggs, home-grown fruit and vegetables in season and craft items.
 
Our small band of producers would love more people to come and join us to increase the selection of produce for our customers.
 
Do you enjoy making cakes? Do you have a speciality that you would like to share with others? Does your garden produce too much for your own needs? Here is a way to get a little bit of money back for yourself, contributing towards the cost of seed or your weekly grocery bill.
 
If you are interested, pop into the market on a Wednesday morning and have a chat with some of our current producers. We look forward to seeing you – customers are welcome as well!
