The Edinburgh Farmer's market at Castle Terrace takes place every Saturday from 9am-2pm, year round, beneath Edinburgh Castle.

It's still a relatively small event, but the food is of a high quality and as most vendors are also the primary producers it is almost always fresh. There is a plentiful number of meat stalls, particularly Scottish game and more exotic meat products such as ostrich and buffalo. The fresh fruit and veg stalls can be a little limited and consequently seem to have the longest queues, but there's lots of other produce of interest including herbs and flowers, bakers' breads, organic beer, home-made gelato, and such like. A good place to stop and enjoy a bbqed sandwich and a hot drink if you missed breakfast.
