The Caurnie Soaperie, located in
Kirkintilloch comes to the market and sells
their natural skin care soaps, shampoos,
shower gels and lotions. They even have their
own organic herb garden where they grow
their own nettle for use in their products.
They happen to be the oldest and last
working soap makers in the world who use
a natural soap making process known as
coldprocess. In two years they will celebrate
their 100 year anniversary!
At the other end of the spectrum is
Root Candy. This energetic group of young
entrepreneurs just launched in August,
and sells baked goods and sweets that
contain healthy ingredients such as beetroot
and carrots. If you’re needing something
interesting for a dinner party that will be
innovative (and tastes great) stop by the
market for some of their wares.
And there’s organic fruits and veg offered
by Bellefield Organics from Abernethy,
where you can pick up a little farm to table
action. The market is also home to around
40 vendors, including those specialising in
fish, pork, lamb, and even a local importer of
French Provencal delicacies. Many shoppers
drive from several miles away to attend
the Mansfield Park Market. Residents of
Glasgow’s West End are so lucky to have
such a lovely market right at their doorstep.
It’s great to support all the local
merchants who care so much about the
products they bring to you and your family.
