Long Melford farmers' market, held on the second Saturday of every month, takes place in the Village Hall, just off the High Street and really is a great opportunity to meet a wonderful selection of fantastic local producers.
Glendale Highland Market is a community led project and developed by the people of Glendale, as a way of making the food produced here directly available to residents, visitors and tourists. The Market claim to be the remotest Farmer’s Market in the UK. The produce from the crofts and the seafood producers is unique and sent all over the world.
Our picturesque village square is the perfect backdrop for our food and drink vendors and our beautiful church makes the ideal setting for our craft and gift traders. The Chancel Cafe in the Church is always very popular, serving tea, coffee, soup, sandwiches and ploughman's lunches.

Local food markets may seem like quirky little ventures that are never going to make a difference. Surely they went out of fashion because supermarkets are more convenient – we’ll never turn that tide back so why bother? Well, at present most communities are helplessly dependant on ‘just in time’ deliveries of intensively farmed, overpackaged food flown half way round the globe before it gets to your plate. Once fuel scarcity and climate change start to impact on global productivity and prices, then energy-intensive food production and distribution will be less feasible, and it isn’t desirable now.
Markets are held every Wednesday of the year (except sometimes between Christmas and New Year) on Joss Lane town centre car park adjacent to the Information and Book Centre. The market plays an important role in the life of the town; it provides a focus (along with the coffee mornings in the Cornerstone Community Church Rooms on Joss Lane nearby, the Library on Main Street and a morning church service) for residents, especially from outlying districts, to meet, catch up and stock up.
Farmers' Markets are for the more discerning shoppers, those who care about the origin of the food they eat. If you want to purchase quality produce that has been grown, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked or otherwise processed by the local stallholder, Island Farmers' Markets are the places to go. They give the public confidence in the origins of the foods and enable them to ask direct questions to the farmers and producers.
Held on the first Saturday every month, except January, in The Square, Huntly. All our stalls are based in North-East Scotland and are selling produce grown, reared, made or caught by small producers in the north-east. Hot food and hot drinks (and in summer freshly squeezed juices) are also on sale at the market.
