Bowhouse Launch Online Food Market
The popular Bowhouse weekend market place in Fife has started an online shopping experience to keep people and local producers connected…
Based in the East Neuk of Fife, Bowhouse has developed a reputation as a hub for local food and drink producers and traders. And the new online market place called, Bowhouse Link, that was launched this month allows this connection between producers with customers to continue.
Since its launched in 2017, Bowhouse’s monthly market weekends have attracted over 100,000 people, and this was set to grow in 2020. However, the on-going COVID-19 pandemic has meant that organisers have had to develop new solutions to distribute local produce.
Bowhouse Link has been supported by Fife Council’s Economic Development Team, recognising the value of small businesses and farm to fork supply in Fife.
