Local Produce & Markets

Dorset is home to a variety of high quality producers of delicious food and drink, which is available to you through specialist farm shops and markets in Dorset.

Enjoy our wide range of distinctive products - from cheeses to biscuits, chocolates to ice creams, jams to bread and much much more.  And don't forget our local drinks - ales, liquers and enticing wines!

You'll find these delicious local products widely available from Dorset's farmers' markets and our numerous farm shops, tempting specialist food shops or village stores.  Many of our restaurants, pubs, cafes and tearooms can also boast using some of the freshest, and of course local, produce.

If you are interested in buying produce direct from Dorset's local food and drink businesses, an online directory is available for you to browse through.

Many of Dorset's local food and drinks are truly homegrown on the soil of Dorset and are recognised as 'Direct from Dorset' - look out for the logo to find products accredited under this scheme or visit the website
