Farmers' Markets in 2009

For individual details on each Farmers' Market, visit our Home Page Food Map and click on the blue balloons.  This is a summary of all the markets we are aware of...

Please note:  the markets below marked in red are those we have yet to receive 2009 information on.  These will be updated as soon as possible.

All across the Highlands and Islands more and more Farmers' Markets are springing up and with greater public awareness of buying local, there's never been a better time to go along and support your local food producers.  Why not meander down, have a browse, let the kids choose what they fancy for tea and fill your bags with delicious produce.  Some markets include an arts and crafts or cafe element so allow plenty of time to enjoy the full ambience!
