About BigBarn
Use the Local Food Map to find all your local producers and retailers from the 7,000 listed, or buy online, for collection, or delivery. You can even join the local food industry by growing your own and selling via retailers flagged with a carrot on the local food map.
BigBarn provides notifications on local special offers and events and helps users save money when seasonal food is fresh and plentiful.
There are also thousands of recipes and a growing database of simple cookery videos to help everyone make the best of fresh, healthy, seasonal food.
BigBarn’s mission is to get people shopping locally. It wants to build communities around food by building a social, local, food industry to compete with the ant-social national one.
Join the local food revolution and divert as much of the £120 billion spent with UK supermarkets each year to farmers and local/community shops with massive economic and social benefits for all.

This app is a mish mash of functions including a 'tip calculator' and a 'car finder'??? but there are simply not enough local suppliers to make it worthwhile having on my phone. Uninstalled.
