VisitScotland Food and Drink | Farmers' Markets

Farmers’ Markets have become a regular feature in towns and cities throughout Scotland since the first market was run in Perth in the late 1990’s.

Selling fresh, locally grown produce directly to the public, farmers' markets greatly enhance the shopping experience for the consumer and support local economies.

Think local
Customers are assured of the provenance of the produce as market rules lay down stringent standards, which must be met before a producer is allowed to sell at a market.

The defining characteristics of a real farmers’ markets are:

        - the products are produced within a defined local area
        - the food producer runs the stall
        - only products he or she produces are allowed to be sold

 Why shop at a Farmers’ Market?

Support local producers: All the produce sold at your Farmers' Market is as local as possible.
Fresh from the field: The short journey from field to fork means your Farmers' Market produce travels a minimum of food miles, helping the environment and sealing in the taste.
Quality and care: Farmers' Market producers care about their product, and about bringing you the best quality for the best price.
Value for money: Like for like, Farmers' Markets offer competitive prices for quality produce.
Knowledge is power: Our producers will happily tell you the history of their product, their business and even give you a recipe to use it in.

Shop at a Scottish Farmers' Market for a truly personal service.
