Traders association look to develop new opportunities for farmers selling produce

Local farmers are invited to a public meeting about developing a flourishing food culture on the Island.

The Manx Food Market Traders Association aims to develop new opportunities for local producers to sell direct to consumers.

The group is behind the Douglas Foodies Market which takes place on North Quay every other Saturday.

There are now proposals for a similar market in Port Erin, which is where the meeting is taking place.

Farmers can attend St Catherine's Church Hall from 6pm on January 17 - you can find more information here.
