Bill
Pimlott. Home grown seasonal vegetables
and bedding plants.
Run for generations by father and son, this family business is
renowned for high quality vegetables. Their produce, ranging from
cabbage and califlower to carrots and celery (and, come April,
delicious new potatoes) is grown to the highest standards in Lancashire.
From May through to July, Bill's range of bedding plants and hanging
baskets bring a splash of colour to the market. And in the winter
months he has hardy fuschias and winter pansies to brighten up
your winter garden. Miniature varieities of chille and pepper plants
are also available. Bill and his son William are a familiar presence
selling their produce every month at Orton and Pooley Bridge farmers
markets.

Organics - Seasonal organic vegetables
When Katrina Palmer took on a 2 acre
walled garden at Forcett Hall near Richmond
some people said she would never be able
to grow vegetables so far North…..
but she proved them wrong. In winter you
can buy turnips, carrots, swede, beetroot,
leeks, cabbage, onions, pumpkins, marrows,
cauliflower. In summer you can choose fresh
peas, beans, sweet corn, apples, lettuce,
cucumber, tomatoes and herbs. In season
you can also select aubergines, courgettes,
mangetoute, garlic, mushrooms… Bluebell
