Local producers working together in towns and villages across Dumfries & Galloway have helped people to connect with quality local food and drink and crafts – particularly through Farmers’ Markets.   Dumfries & Galloway has an abundance of fantastic artisan food producers and craft makers, creating quality products that are bursting with passion and flavour.

Why Buy Local

• Good for the economy
• Buying local encourages new business to start up, helps local businesses to thrive and keeps local money circulating in the local economy. Benefitting everyone.

• Good for you
• Enjoy high quality, fresh produce at very competitive prices. Find out how to make the most of it with ideas, tips and advice from the people who produced, reared or grew it!
