To help more people find local food, our map and MarketPlace, we have teamed up with Archant and their 43 Life Magazines. As a friendly introduction all BigBarn registered members can enter their latest competition to win a fantastic BBQ or Patio Heater.
Archant have a ‘Life’ magazine for nearly every county and a website and newsletter for each. As local food is so popular having our map and MarketPlace is a natural fit.
We will be sending Archant features on local producers and running coupon promotions to encourage more people to try out their local shops.
So please keep an eye open for BigBarn features in your local Archant Life, and offers like the competition (click now to enter) And please tell your local producer or farm shop to call us if they would like to be featured, perhaps you could be part of the feature?
Our map is also being added to many other partners websites over the next few weeks bringing our readers more offers and interesting opportunities, like opening your house as a restaurant with Openfordinner, or a menu planner, wots4supper. Find out more in the next newsletter!


I am astonished that you are offering a patio heater as a prize. Big Barn’s environmental credentials are now shot.
Sorry Max, I did not want to include the Patio heater and hoped any BigBarn subscriber would feel the same way as you and opt for the BBQ.
It was one of those age old problems that we want more people to find and buy local food and need the media power of Archant. I will however be more careful with prizes, so thank you for the message.
