Wood Wharf Farmers Market

| July 27, 2013

Last weekend we headed to the Wood Wharf Farmers Market located behind Canary Wharf. It was a beautifully sunny day and we enjoyed the ambiance of the market whilst watching the men’s and women’s volleyball teams and sampling some delicious food.

The selection of organic vegetables from Wild Country Organics in Cambridge was delightful and so colourful. We bought some organic chilli peppers and tomatoes which tasted amazing and have been savoured in several meals this week.
