Wecome to the Scottish Association of Farmers' Markets

"The definition of a Scottish Farmers' Market is a market in which farmers, growers and producers from throughout Scotland sell their produce direct to the public. All foods/products sold should have been grown, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked, smoked, or made/prepared by the producer"

“Farmers’ Markets – Make Sure It’s The Real Thing”

Farmers from all across Scotland have worked hard over the last ten years to make farmers’ markets a household name. Working closely with rural crafts and other food producers, farmers have brought their fresh, local produce into city, towns and villages and offered consumers an alternative shopping experience. Farmers’ markets are now widely seen as a major attraction on the High Street. The Scottish Association of Farmers’ Markets represents in excess of fifty farmers’ markets in Scotland and sets out specific criteria for membership. Make sure the farmers’ market you visit is a member of the Scottish Association of Farmers’ Markets –

Make sure it’s “the real thing”. For full details of SAFM and how to join go to contact page and email us

Local growers and producers take personal pride in the food they bring to their Farmers' Market and want you to enjoy it. The emphasis is on freshness, quality and value for money, Buying locally means you can ask how the food is produced and grown and at the same time customer feedback is appreciated by the producer.

Buying locally also reduces food miles and the stages in the food chain from fork to plate. It puts money back into the local rural economy thereby sustaining and creating jobs.
