Farmers, Country & Food Markets in County Mayo, Ireland

Farmers’, Country and Food Markets have been in existence in Ireland for over 60 years and in the areas where their reputation is established, they are an integral part of Irish small town life.

These markets, usually held weekly or fortnightly, provide local small food, gardening and craft producers with the opportunity to market their goods co-operatively.  They are particularly famous for their home baking and locally grown produce and handmade crafts.

An additional benefit is that the customer gets fresh Irish produced goods at a reasonable price and the markets have also become a great weekly meeting place for local people.
