BANCHORY IS THE LARGEST MARKET IN ABERDEENSHIRE, REGULARLY ATTRACTING 25 STALLS
WHY DO WE LIKE A FARMERS’ MARKET SO MUCH? MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE IT HARKS BACK TO AN OLD WAY OF SHOPPING, POPPING IN AND OUT OF STALLS FOR A HANDFUL OF CARROTS HERE, A PACK OF BACON THERE, MEETING FRIENDS AND CHATTING TO THE STALLHOLDERS. OR MAYBE IT’S THE FEELING THAT THESE ARE SMALL LOCAL PRODUCERS AND BY BUYING FROM THEM, WE’RE CLOCKING UP ZERO FOOD MILES AND CONTRIBUTING TO OUR LOCAL ECONOMY. WHATEVER THE REASON, IT’S A FOOD TREND THAT IS NOW FIRMLY ESTABLISHED ONCE AGAIN IN THE REGION’S CALENDAR. BE YOU MAGAZINE
