Produce — Fresh Seasonal Fruit & Veg from Scottish Farmers & Market Gardeners

Fresh, local, seasonal — straight from the soil.

This is ScotBoard's Produce board — an open invitation to every Scottish farmer, crofter, smallholder and market gardener to list what's ready right now. Tell residents what you've grown, when it's picked, and where they can collect it.

No middlemen, no air miles, no supermarket mark-up. Just good food from a few miles up the road.

Are you a grower? Post your produce here

Use the Post in Produce button. It helps to include:

• What's in season — spuds, kale, neeps, berries, eggs, honey, herbs, salad leaves
• Where and when — your farm, a market pitch, or a collection point near your postcode
• How to buy — a veg box, a farm gate stall, a market day, or by the punnet
• Your prices — per kilo, per bag, or per box
• How to reach you — a phone number, email or social page buyers can message

Photographs of the actual produce go a long way. People buy with their eyes.

Looking for local food? You're in the right place

If you're a resident after something fresh, browse the ads here or search by your council area. Many growers will let you collect direct from the field, and plenty run a box scheme with weekly deliveries.

Ask what's in season this week — it's the best food and the best value.

What's in season in Scotland

Spring — wild garlic, rhubarb, early salad leaves, asparagus, spring cabbage, new potatoes Summer — strawberries, raspberries, broad beans, peas, courgettes, soft fruit by the punnet Autumn — apples, plums, brambles, squash, beetroot, kale, maincrop tatties, mushrooms Winter — neeps, leeks, sprouts, celeriac, stored roots, forced rhubarb, preserves and chutneys

A few things worth knowing

• Ask about provenance — most growers are delighted to tell you how it was grown.
• Bring a bag — many stalls are plastic-free.
• Cash helps small growers — though plenty now take card or bank transfer.
• Respect the season — if it's not ready yet, it's not on the stall. That's the point.
