    Local Producers Market at Kintaline Plant and Poultry Centre, Benderloch, PA37 1QS
    A wonderful attraction for all locals and tourists alike.
    Local Origins Rural Network is a local producers and skills network who have established a very popular, twice monthly market showcasing the best in locally grown and created food and creative arts.
    Come along and experience the vibrant atmosphere, enjoy catching up with friends over lunch – always plenty to eat whilst your there - and plenty of produce to take home, from butchered beef, mutton, lamb and pork, fresh seafood and fish, goose, fruits and vegetables, according to seasons, as well as cheese, bakery, sweets and confectionary.
    Cookery demonstrations are regular, as are trial sessions of felting, pyrography, jewellery, wood turning and other craft activities, with beautiful items to take home for yourself, or as gifts and souvenirs.
    Plans for 2010 include natural history, traditional skills, language and culture, history and charity stalls.
    To make each market even more special it is located on a working farm, just outside the village of Benderloch, where there is a wide range of poultry and waterfowl, Jacob sheep to see as you stroll through the ground, set out to encourage local wildlife, as well as a plant centre to explore.

    Signs to advertise the markets go up the weekend before, along the main road, and on the day there are clear signposts all the way to the special market car park.
    There is disabled parking close to the market area itself, follow the signs for the main Kintaline entrance
