Hi everyone Horniman Museum and Gardens here. Yes, we have taken over the running of the Farmer?s Market two weeks ago and have just appointed someone who will be running the Market, working with the stallholders and telling people what they can expect from week to week online and around the Horniman site. I will certainly pass on your comments about lactose free drinks to her, as well as the other comments in this thread. We are really excited about bringing the Market in house and you will be hearing more about the Market very soon. In the meantime if you have any comments about what you would like to see (like Bobbsy's lactose free milk) please do drop us a line at [email protected] and we will see what we can do.
