Every stall here packs in paper, glass or compostable material. No exceptions.
Meet the makers
Chalk Cheese
Cheese & charcuterie
We age farmhouse cheddar on the farm in a cave under the barn, which sounds grander than it is. We wrap in waxed paper — no plastic on the stall at all.
Cullet House
Glass
I fuse and slump kiln-formed glass from bottles collected at these very markets.
Frond Plants
Plants & florals
I make dried flower arrangements from flowers grown and dried here, so they last for years. Pots are terracotta or recycled — none of them plastic.
Little Pot
Streetfood
We do one thing — a proper toasted sandwich with everything prepped from scratch the morning before.
Sourdough Table
Bakery & cakes
I make Polish babka and cinnamon buns in small batches, in my own kitchen, licensed and inspected.
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 seconds shelf is candles with a wonky top and a full burn time.
The Copper Larder
Streetfood
We do one thing — a proper toasted sandwich with everything prepped from scratch the morning before.
The Ember Harbour
Ceramics
I hand-build slab vessels finished with ash glazes I mix myself. Everything is fired twice in a shared kiln in Brentford.
The Green Bench
Plants & florals
I propagate herbs and salad plants all grown outdoors within eight miles of the market. The whole stall is grown by me, which limits it and I like that.
The Reworked Wardrobe
Clothing
I make children’s clothes from deadstock cotton in sizes 6 to 24 because that is the whole point. No new fabric is bought for anything on this rail.
The Wander Kitchen
Streetfood
We do one thing — a proper toasted sandwich with everything prepped from scratch the morning before.
The Windfall Row
Preserves & pantry
I make small-batch chutneys and jams from fruit gleaned around Bucks that would otherwise go to waste.
Windfall Larder
Preserves & pantry
I ferment hot sauces and kimchi with no pectin, no preservatives and nothing you cannot pronounce. Metal lids and glass, nothing plastic anywhere in the packaging.
