The stall will also be there for the use of local school groups who may like the opportunity to come meet local producers at the market to learn what a Farmers Market is all about and then return another week to run a stall themselves.
This stall may also be made available for workshops and demonstrations with a food, farming, gardening or environmental theme.

Recipe of the fortnight
This is a recipe from Rachel Allen (a regular at the market we might add!) for Strawberry or raspberry Daiquiri. Strawberries are already available at the market and raspberries will be in the next few weeks.
Serves 2-4,
150ml (5fl oz) white rum or vodka
250g (9oz) strawberries or raspberries (can be frozen)
75ml (23/4fl oz) lime juice (approximately 3 limes)
100-125ml (31/2-4fl oz) Stock Syrup (see below), to taste
Crushed ice, to serve
Place the rum, strawberries (or raspberries), lime juice and 100ml (31/2fl oz) stock syrup in a blender and whiz until smooth.
Taste and add more stock syrup if necessary. Pour into tumblers half-filled with crushed ice.
To make the Stock Syrup
Makes 150ml (5fl oz)
This is the basic stock syrup recipe used for things such as cocktails and poaching fruit. It keeps indefinitely and it is very handy to have some to hand.
200g (7oz) caster sugar
200ml (7fl oz) water
Place the ingredients in a saucepan and bring slowly to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. When the sugar has dissolved, boil for 2 minutes and allow to cool.

"There are now superb farmers' markets all over Ireland, but Mahon scoops the gong for several reasons. Firstly its superbly well organised, and the diversity and variety of stalls is second to none. The market is so charismatic that it overcomes its hopeless location, close to an industrial estate. But Mahon goes further than any other market in that it's a great place to eat. come noon, most people are here to get lunch; brilliant vegetarian curries, the best steak sandwiches, mexican tortillas to die for, and the coffee is as good as it gets. They even bring in musicans to play as you enjoy ginger beer and a falafal or two."
