This is set to be your best chance of the year to really stock up at unbeatable value on vast offers throughout the The Market. Maybe it will be your chance to take that first leap of faith into our artisan or fair trade groceries at upto 50% off retail value, or perhaps stock up on your favourite butchery or deli products with a little winter storing in mind. Maybe it will make that luxury fish supper a little more favourable?

With so many crops still coming from the very farm where you are shopping boasting food yards not miles, the offers will be bountiful in the fresh fruit and veg aisles with our own fresh strawberries, raspberries, figs, blackberries, apples, peppers, tomatoes, spring onions, cucumbers, rocket, herbs, courgette, squashes, pumpkins, red cabbage, winter cabbages of all varieties, romanesque, parsnips, swede, runner beans, onions, potatoes, curly kale and the fantastically sweet red Russian kale - yes all grown here on the farm and most at 50% discount this weekend!

It really is fantastic to be this far into the season with November just a few days away and still be boasting so much from our very own soil....something that we all see so many companies marketing but realistically rarely doing !

And it doesn't stop there - we also have luxury chocolates on offer to go with your favourite wine as well as this years pressing of our very own juices which have turned out as real favourites amongst the team, with a new addition still to be sampled this weekend in our first Cox, Russet and Bramley juice, sure to be a winner with these classic varieties crammed in there.

The last dispatch for new cards was made on Wednesday. If you have applied after this day your card will be here for collection on your arrival or alternatively posted next Monday. If you have not applied to date, we will be offering an immediate card issue on the day, after a quick form fill and some young legs running to and fro the back office to enable anyone who has not joined to immediately reap the benefits of our biggest discounts ever!

What's more, someone will be the lucky recipient this weekend of our £50 hamper for the 1000th applicant. What about us, the loyal members who have already joined, I hear you ask? Well, this weekend is of course a big thank you to you all but to top that we have 2 more prizes looming - one for the card with the highest spend over the 6 week period leading up to 'Game Day' on the 5th December, closing on the eve before and a further closing at the end of January 2010 for the high roller of all high rollers with the largest spend to date!

Coming soon.... menu's for our Longhorn Western Weekend, Sausage day, preview of the 2010 TM Calendar, schools / education news and expansion plans for 2010.

I hope to see you all this weekend.....
