Perthshire Farmers' Markets
Home to the award-winning Perth Farmers' Market, which was the first of its kind in Scotland, Perth proudly boasts five fantastic markets in various locations across the region.
And is any wonder? The area is renowned for its rich agricultural land, long history of distilling, and award-winning producers. From the mighty berry fields of Blair to honey from hillside hives, crystal clear gin from copper stills and beef fit for a king, here in the land of Scotland's larder it is all made possible.
As with all good, authentic Farmers Markets, behind the stalls you'll find the producers themselves - and they all love to chat about their wares! Ask about their processes, their attention to tiny details, where they farm and even the name of the cow your rib eye steak came from and they'll happily tell you.
Please do check on each market website before attending due to the current covid restrictions.

The market is largely made up of local producers from across Perthshire and long-standing 'guests' such as Puddledub Bacon from Fife and Caledonian Oysters from Oban. Their new location has alos allowed them to open up to artisan crafts bringing a new dimension to this hugely popular market.
