The Big Barn website is an essential tool if you want to find local producers. Not only do they have a fantastic search resource, they also have a wealth of information regarding what’s in season and gorgeous recipes to match.

Big Barn’s mission is to help rebuild local food supply chains across the UK and reduce our reliance on the all powerful supermarkets. Our country produces some of the best food in the world, from Cornish Yarg to Arbroath Smokies; the scene is as rich as it is diverse. 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 help achieve this mission, the Big Barn map shows you where your alternatives are. Just enter your postcode in the ‘Find Your Local Producers’ box and you’ll see a map of your area with all your producers listed on it as icons. With that information, you’re the one with the power!

Of course eating local food, in season, is not just about an ethical crusade. It’s about enjoying a far superior quality of food. Making buying, preparing and eating food an important and enjoyable part of every day life. Big Barn wants to help, even in a small way, to bring about the changes they so passionately believe in.

If you want these changes too, then the best thing you can do, apart from starting to use the information you find on BigBarn, is to register on the website. Simply by giving your email address and your postcode, you’re making a massive difference. With that information, producers in your area can see how many people there are that want to buy their food locally. Big Barn shows them the demand, they show you the supply. It’s that simple.

I can’t recommend BigBarn enough! Take a look at the website and register for the monthly newsletter too, it’s full of great info and features producers in your local area.
