Meet the makers
Ash Company
Woodwork
I turn bowls on a pole lathe with hand tools, so you can hear me working at the market.
Chalk Cheese
Cheese & charcuterie
We age farmhouse cheddar on the farm in a cave under the barn, which sounds grander than it is.
Copper Pantry
Preserves & pantry
I make marmalade from Seville oranges once a year in copper pans, twelve jars at a time.
Cullet House
Glass
I fuse and slump kiln-formed glass from bottles collected at these very markets. Bring me your broken pieces and I will work them in.
Ferment Cordial
Drinks
We make botanical cordials from foraged flowers picked within a few miles of where we sell it.
Fire Grill
Streetfood
We cook Sri Lankan hoppers to order using British free-range meat and vegetables from our own allotment. We stopped using anything plastic in 2019 and have not looked back.
Flour Kitchen
Bakery & cakes
I make Persian pastries and cardamom buns and nothing leaves the oven more than fourteen hours before market.
Glaze Larder
Ceramics
I throw functional stoneware on the wheel glazed in soft oatmeal, sage and off-white.
Kitchen Kitchen
Preserves & pantry
I make small-batch chutneys and jams from fruit gleaned around Bucks that would otherwise go to waste.
Little Pot
Streetfood
We do one thing — a proper toasted sandwich with everything prepped from scratch the morning before. Our meat is British free-range organic and we are happy to be asked about it.
Marbled Papers
Stationery
I hand-bind notebooks with recycled paper and linen thread, sewn not glued. Offcuts become the little notebooks, so nothing is wasted.
Rapeseed Room
Candles & home fragrance
I pour rapeseed wax candles by hand in returnable glass, with a cotton wick and nothing synthetic. Each one is poured, wicked and labelled in one afternoon.
Smoke Streetfood
Streetfood
We run a small Ethiopian kitchen and every box, fork and cup we hand over is compostable.
Spoon Yard
Woodwork
I carve spoons and boards from green wood from London plane and cherry felled by the council anyway. No varnish, no lacquer, nothing you would not eat off.
The Beeswax Room
Candles & home fragrance
I roll and dip pure beeswax tapers scented only with essential oils.
The Bramble Table
Preserves & pantry
I preserve whatever the orchards give me using surplus from farms within twenty miles.
The Green Bench
Plants & florals
I propagate herbs and salad plants all grown outdoors within eight miles of the market.
The Ore Moon
Jewellery
I solder fine chains and stacking rings cast in my kitchen from recycled offcuts. Commissions are about a third of what I do.
The Press Cordial
Drinks
We roast single-origin coffee in small drums on direct trade beans, with the price paid printed on every bag.
The Prism Bench
Glass
I make lampwork beads and small sculpture fired three times, which is why they take a fortnight. Nothing goes out in bubble wrap — it is paper and wool only.
The Rush Works
Homewares
I weave willow baskets from willow I grow and cut on a Thames-side bed.
