Farmers' Markets
Farmers’ markets in Aberdeenshire are reopening following their temporary closure due to COVID-19.
Farmers’ market organisers have been working closely with the council’s Protective Services team to draw up and implement distancing measures to ensure consumers can shop safely at local markets. So do please pay a visit to your local farmers’ market to help support local producers – they really need your business at this time. And please be ready to follow the guidance issued by each market and allow a little more time than usual.
