Summer 2009:

Did you know about Nantwich's weekly Country Market? It's a co-operative social enterprise selling a range of home-made and home-grown produce from individual producers (including fresh fruit and veg from the local allotments). A great source for an unusual hamper too. Find it in the Market Hall every Thursday from 8am - 1pm.

Spring 2009:

UPDATE: Nantwich is now working towards achieving Fairtrade Town status in 2009. Food and drink outlets serving/selling Fairtrade products are being identified - see on this web site. Nantwich Town Council has issued a resolution in support of Fairtrade. Businesses are being persuaded to use Fairtrade products. If you would like to get involved please email (Chairman of the Steering Group). Says Chris: "Choose products with the FAIRTRADE Mark"
