| To create and run a movable Farmers’ Market which will sell produce and products from within the Cairngorms National Park Area. We envisage this to be a ‘travelling showcase’ for the Park which will reflect the very identity of the area and the land. The Market Association/Company will hold the equipment, expertise and a core group of sellers to provide help and support for any new members - we hope that in each individual location we will source new sellers from the immediate area therefore offering the customers the freshest most local food they can buy. Advice and guidance will be given to encourage new sellers to come onboard. This group have worked very hard over the last year off and running the pilot project and considering and costing the bigger project. The benefits of the establishment of a series of markets are clear, both from the point of view of local people being given access to local produce and the farmers being given a showcase. The events would also help create understanding and integration between the farming community and the wider communities throughout the area. The groups aim is also to involve where possible other local businesses, for example cookery demonstrations from hotels and other countryside related produce only bringing in external producers where the product doesn't exist in the area. | |
