  There is a lot of talk about holding one monthly presumably in Market Square. I don't share the enthusiasm of most on social media as many people frequent the weekly one in Capel or even closer to home Farthingloe farm. I know business is all about competition but it does seem unfair on Dunfords that are out every Tuesday and Saturday whatever the weather.

  I doubt a farmers market held once a month would have that much affect on either of the local businesses. It might even help them when people know they can buy quality local produce, both could possibly be involved with the market if they choose to get involved.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  I expect if they had a stall in the Farmers Market.
  
  Selling the above, there would be quite a queue
