South Londoners who haven’t yet given up on eating healthier in 2026, we’ve got good news: a brand new weekly farmers’ market is about to open in Peckham.
The aptly named Peckham Farmers’ Market has been in the works since last summer, and its organisers have finally announced an official launch date. From January 24, the market will pop up at Belham Primary School every Saturday between 9.30am and 3pm.
There’s a real focus on natural produce – that is fruit and veg grown without the use of pesticides or chemicals – seasonal goods, and ethical farming, so you can expect everything to be of absolute top-notch quality. Think grass-fed beef, free-range eggs, day-boat fish, and other equally wholesome produce.
The market already has 25 confirmed vendors. One stall will be selling a range of Mediterranean picky-bits. Another, The French Comté, is packed full of cheese, while Wild Country Organics, a Cambridge farm, will offer more than 40 different types of tomato. According to the organisers, you’ll be able to do your entire weekly shop here in one go, making it much easier to access the ‘freshest, most nourishing food’ money can buy.
In fact, breaking down the barriers to healthy eating is at the heart of the organisers’ mission. In an Instagram post, they explained: ‘For too long, high-quality, nutrient-dense produce has felt out of reach… We’re changing that.
‘By removing the traditional intermediaries, we connect you with the people who grow, harvest and catch your food, meaning produce that’s fresher, naturally grown and richer in taste.’
But it’s not just quality produce that the market hopes to bring to Peckham. It also wants to become a way of bringing together the neighbourhood, offering ‘a vibrant community hub for locals to reconvene, unwind [and] connect’ with one another. They want you to grab a coffee and a freshly-baked pastry, stroll through the stalls, and make the most of products on sale and the warm environment that’s been created.
You can keep up to date with the latest information about vendors, opening times and more on the Peckham Farmers Market’s Instagram page.
