GREYTON MORNING MARKET
Every Saturday morning at 10:00 Greyton's Market Square is abuzz with activity, where people flock to buy the freshest home produce of all descriptions.
Also preservative-free cheeses, plain low-fat yoghurt and farm butter. There is the famous yoghurt cheese (Labneh) seeped in olive oil and flavoured with herbs and spices and made freshly by Petro and Thor every week.
Greyton's famous lemon products include home made lemon cordial made by Kay, Davida's lemon sorbet and pancakes baked on site by Bram and filled with delicious lemon cheese (curd) that is also available in bottles to take home.
Sybil's herb plants are on sale alongside beautifully embroidered cloths of all descriptions, or buy some of Val's tried-and-tested home-made jams and preservatives.
Also on offer are Marika's delightful cakes and pastries (don't get trampled in the rush!), or sample the pies, breads and muffins baked by our own Greyton Wollies Bakery - people flock from afar to sample Susan's wholesome pies.
You can buy hand-hewn wooden items, made by Paul from slats of old oak barrels or support our Animal Welfare by buying delicious fruits and veg on offer. The Red Cross sells wonderful second-hand books donated by all and sundry in the Village.
