Ray’s Veg: Fresh, Organic, and Straight from the Soil
Every Thursday, the High Street in Taunton comes alive with colour, flavour, and community spirit as the Farmer’s Market takes its place in the heart of the town. Among the many dedicated traders, one stall always stands out for its vibrant displays of freshly picked produce — Ray’s Veg.
Ray has been a familiar face at the market for years, bringing with him not just an abundant harvest but also a philosophy: good food starts with good soil. His commitment to organic growing means that every carrot, potato, lettuce, and tomato has been nurtured without chemical fertilisers or pesticides. Instead, Ray relies on traditional farming practices, natural composting, and crop rotation to keep his land healthy and his produce thriving.
Shoppers at his stall often remark on the difference — the vegetables are full of flavour, the colours richer, and the freshness unbeatable. “When you buy from Ray, you’re getting vegetables that were still in the ground that morning,” one loyal customer shared. This direct-from-soil approach means less transport, less packaging, and fewer food miles, making his veg not only better for you but better for the planet.
What sets Ray apart is his passion for sharing knowledge. He’s always happy to offer cooking tips, explain which varieties are in season, or talk about how he manages pests naturally. For him, farming isn’t just about producing food — it’s about building a sustainable future and reconnecting people with where their food comes from.
So, next time you’re in Taunton on a Thursday between 9am and 2pm, make sure to visit Ray’s Veg at the Farmer’s Market. Whether you’re after crunchy greens, earthy root vegetables, or simply a chat with someone who truly cares about the land, Ray’s stall is the place to be.
