British food and craft, sold by the people who make it
Famica Market is a curated market of small family producers — preserve kitchens, wood-fired bakeries, one-wheel pottery studios — trading online all year and together on market weekends. Small batches, stated seasons, no importer’s margin.
Two aisles, one market
Every seller on this market makes what they sell. Browse the food hall and the craft hall — or read the maker-first rule in the Journal.
The food hall
Preserves, sourdough, farmhouse cheese and bean-to-bar chocolate — with allergen panels and hygiene ratings on every listing.
The craft hall
Pottery, candles, knitwear and carved boards — batch sizes stated, care instructions honest, commissions quarterly.
Meet the makers
Eight stalls, four counties, one rule: the person who makes it is the person who sells it.
Market weekends
Four times a year the whole network trades together in person. Here’s what’s coming up — dates are announced seasonally in the Journal.
Winter Market Weekend
The Christmas-market anchor: all eight stalls live at once, Preserve Christmas chutneys opened and tasted, engraved-board personalisation done while you wait, and collection points for everything ordered in November.
The Christmas Order Morning
A working morning, not a festival: order whole cheese truckles, book engraving slots before the December cut-off, and collect the first of the smoked-pine candles.
Craft & Antiques Weekend
The one weekend makers bring the back catalogue: Fernwood’s kiln seconds at honest prices, Looped & Bound’s winter colourway preview, and Timber & Twine’s offcut butter knives.
New this batch
Listings open and close with harvests and kiln firings. What’s here is what exists right now — when it’s gone, the listing says when the next one is due.
Read before you buy
Long reads from the market floor — the people, the calendar, and the practical knowledge that makes buying small-batch work.
