A Basing Bakes
, Basingstoke, Hampshire
A Basing Bakes was started in 2012 by Helen Lang who has a long history in the catering industry. Helen started as a school cook, then progressed to an agency chef and was later employed by a local golf club in their kitchen. When Helen decided to set up her own baking business, the difficulty was deciding which route to go down.
To begin with, Helen was baking primarily regular goods made with wheat flour, but she started to get requests for gluten free products. As time progressed, she heard from several friends who had Coeliac disease; they said that they couldn’t find good quality gluten free products on the high street. After looking into this and indeed trying some of these GF goods, she decided to start producing her own GF products alongside the regular goods.
The demand for GF food was so high, that in 2015 she made the decision to produce solely GF goods, and made a second kitchen dedicated to gluten free baking. She continued to sell to retail outlets until the end of 2017 and in 2018, A Basing Bakes joined Hampshire Farmer's Markets. Consequently, HFM is now the primary route to market for A Basing Bakes.

Dampney's Remarkable Drinks
, Petersfield, Hampshire
Dampney’s Remarkable Drinks produce a delicious range of hand-crafted English Liqueurs.
Started as a germ of an idea in the summer of 2015. After two years of development, our first range of drinks was launched in 2017.
Dampney’s are very versatile liqueurs. People drink them straight from a hip flask or as a shot over ice. Others have recommended the Raspberry range to pep up a prosecco and others say the Gooseberry Gin makes a most refreshing G & T in the summer. However you drink them, they hope you will savour the flavours of the countryside and garden which these liqueurs evoke.

, Havant, Hampshire
FNK Pie House has been established since 2010 and has been selling at the Hampshire Farmers' Markets since then.
Our pies stand out from the rest as they are truly handmade, using stocks reduced from the bones and vegetables giving the pies a depth of flavour that our customers come back for again and again. As a Hampshire Farmers' Markets secondary producer we support the primary suppliers (farmers) by buying local meat and vegetables. Our pies are sold in eco-friendly packaging that can be completely recycled.
Our philosophy has always been that we don’t use preservatives, additives or flavourings and because so many people suffer from allergies they are also diary free and nut free. Our Vegan pies are soya, nut and most importantly Palm Oil Free.
Come and find, either Neal (Fraser Neal – the chef) or Hazel (the bottle washer), at the markets and we will talk you through our many flavours of savoury pies or you place an order by emailing us.
