New Free BigBarn App

New Free BigBarn App

BigBarn has just unveiled a brand new, free, app designed to help people find better, fresh, seasonal, food, sometimes FREE, all at the click of their smartphone.

To download the App search ‘bigbarn’ in the App Store or Android. Or if on your mobile click here for iPhone or iPad or click here for Android.

The new App builds on BigBarn’s mission to build a social, local, food industry as an alternative to the anti-social national one.  The App makes buying local food easier and communicates the benefits of shopping locally, (price, freshness, quality) via a median readily available to everyone, their phone!

Users can find, buy, and cook, food and drink from the 7,000+ (and growing) producers and retailers listed as icons on the BigBarn local food map.

The App also notifies users when a discount, deal, or free food is available to help them keep their shopping bills low. It allows them to search for local retailers or place orders through the BigBarn marketplace making local shopping quick and simple.

BigBarn aims to reconnect people with where their food comes from and to prove that there are better places to shop than the supermarkets. The new interactive app is an extension of this objective and is constantly growing as more producers and consumers join the service, communicate and trade.
