“What we are not doing is harking back to a bygone era. Farmers’ markets mythologise Britain, create a version of it that never existed, when horny-handed peasants lived on prime cuts of happy pig and lashings of thick cream the colour of buttercups. Our great grandparents never ate this well. They couldn’t afford to. Don’t let any of this put you off shopping in farmers’ markets: it’s a noble way to pass the time. Just don’t think you’re changing the world by doing so.”
