WI Country Markets are a fantastic source of ready-made, locally produced good home cooking. What's more you are also likely to be able to pick up a pair of hand knitted socks to keep your feet warm!.
WI markets originally emerged as co-operatives. Producers became shareholders for the princely sum of one shilling! Falling victim to their own success, their spiraling popularity meant that by 1990, when the National Federation of Women's Institutes became a not for profit Charitable Company, the efforts of the dedicated members meant that the dough had well and truly risen! Indeed profits soared to such an extent that a more arms length approach was needed to placate the Charity Commission.
Though the 'WI' initials have since been dropped from the 'WI Country Markets Ltd', we all still know and love them as WI Markets! Follow the link below to find the nearest one to you. www.country-markets.co.uk
