Supplier

As a Community Interest Company, our ‘open’ map is constantly being updated by the individual suppliers and outlets listed and new suppliers joining. The Map is being seen by over 100,000 visitors per month to BigBarn as well as the 100+ partners promoting and sharing the map to thousands more consumers via special code and affiliate software. More partners are joining all the time, so your page is automatically updated on all their websites as you make changes to win more customers. More here

BigBarn’s mission is to build communities around food and help businesses like you become the centre of your local food community.

After 19 years of trading we have 8,000 icons including schools, shops, farmers, pubs, markets, butchers and producers. All to create social, local food supply chains that are inclusive and sustainable, and where middle men and food miles, are reduced and food knowledge increased though education and reconnection.
