Join the RCMA Market Garden!Riverside Market Garden is a new ethical model for sustainable local food production - a project created by RCMA Social Enterprise (the 'Riverside Market people'). (You can read more about it at: www.riversidemarketgarden.co.uk and on the BBC Website) A new 10 acre Market Garden is being created 8 miles from Cardiff to make more fresh food available to the local community and our first crops will be available soon!! The site will produce a wide range of organic vegetables, with an additional focus on saladstuffs, herbs and soft fruit.
We will also offer horticultural training and care placements, with educational visits for schools and colleges, and fun days out for members and their families. We are offering individuals and organisations a chance to become shareholders in this mutual society for community benefit. Shares start
at £50 and can be bought online (see link below) with PayPal or
Credit Card etc. Shares can be paid for by standing order at £10 per month - Members will get discounted produce and the chance to take part in celebrations and activities at the site. For more information

Craft Stalls now a regular feature at the marketsCraft Stalls are now a regular feature at RCMA’s Riverside and Roath Markets. We hope this will provide yet another reason for people to come to the markets, and also help support some of the many artisans and craft makers who live in and around Cardiff. As with the food stalls, people can only sell high quality items that they have made themselves. Wales True TasteRCMA*
won Gold at this year’ Wales True Taste awards in the Local Sourcing

commitment and consistency that local producers bring to our markets,
so many thanks to them (Also special congratulations to our regular stallholders

Organics, and Greta’s Wholefoodies). Link "LOCAL FOOD - IT'S MILES BETTER!" P.S .
