On Thursday 7 June Comber Farmers\u2019 Market <\/strong>will see the very first Comber Earlies<\/strong> arrive, as an important time of the agricultural year begins for the town named \u2018The Home of Great Taste\u2019.<\/h1>\n

\"\"With their own unique flavour, Comber Earlies have achieved PGI status which recognises the Comber spud alongside some of Europe\u2019s most iconic regional food brands, such as Feta Cheese, Champagne and the Cornish Pasty.<\/p>\n

Horner\u2019s Farm Shop will have the first of its crop ready to try and buy, joined by Chef Dave Smyth from McBrides on the Square who will be serving samples of the nutty little potato to visitors.<\/p>\n

Other traders at the market will have the very finest array of meat and fish, fruit and vegetables, jams and chutneys, home baked goods and breads, cheeses, speciality teas, sauces and syrups, seasonal plants, chocolate, free range eggs, granola, iced coffee, Mediterranean tapas, raw Jersey milk and more \u2013 all produced in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

Chair of the Comber Farmers\u2019 Market committee run by the Comber Regeneration and Community Partnership, Alderman Deborah Girvan, is delighted the Comber Earlies will be ready in time for the award winning market:<\/p>\n

\u201cI know it has been a difficult winter for our potato farmers with late frost preventing them from planting and indeed keeping them awake at night.\u00a0 It is fantastic therefore that some will be available for Comber Farmers\u2019 Market on the 7 June.\u00a0 Then of course the whole town looks forward to the Comber Earlies Food Festival later in the month, when all the producers can come together to celebrate this humble and tasty little spud.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comber Farmers\u2019 Market is held on the first Thursday of every month in the car park at St Marys Church in Comber Square from 9am to 1.00pm.\u00a0 Car parking can be found at Parkway on Killinchy Street or in 1st<\/sup> Comber Presbyterian car park on High Street.<\/p>\n
