Big Barn

BigBarn is the UK's no.1 local food website. We help people to find good, safe, accountable food from local sources.Our mission is to help to rebuild local food supply chains across the UK. Our country produces some of the best food in the world and we want to help it to find the market that it deserves. From Cornish Yarg to Arbroath Smokies, the scene is as rich as it is diverse. But buying local shouldn't be a once-in-a-while thing. It should be for every day. It should be part of the fabric of life again. To achieve that means everyone pulling together to make it happen.

Thames Valley Farmers' Market Co-operative

Thames Valley Farmers' Market Co-operative exists to manage and promote Farmers' Markets, enabling farmers and small producers to sell their produce directly to you! We began operating in the Thames Valley area in 1999. Since then our markets have flourished and we now operate in 17 different towns. Buying at farmers' markets helps to support local farmers and producers. There are no middlemen involved, and no profits for supermarkets and their shareholders. We are a non profit-making organisation and in 2003 we became a co-operative. The funds that we raise through membership fees and stall fees are ploughed back into the co-operative. All the producers at our markets are voting members of the co-operative who can share in the way the co-operative is run.
