Ayrshire and Arran Food & Drink Suppliers' Directory
Ayrshire Connect
If you’re looking to find great local produce from Ayrshire and Arran this directory is designed to help you do that.
Over recent years the provenance of the food on our plates has become increasingly important to many. This has been reflected in the recent growth in demand for food produced locally to appear on menus.
There is a real desire by chefs and hospitality providers, retailers and individuals to meet this demand and Ayrshire & Arran has a fantastic larder of produce ready to supply food and drink grown, made and reared by a large number of producers
It is not always easy to know where to source local, so we’ve created the searchable Ayrshire and Arran Food Directory as part of the Ayrshire Connect project to make it easy to source local produce.
As well as our well-known brands it enables smaller craft and artisan producers to reach a wider market of businesses and direct consumers.
The hotelier, restaurateur or retailer and members of the public can now search for local produce, niche products or new local suppliers for their kitchens or shelves right here.
Please use our search engine yourself and support the continued growth of locally produced food and drink that benefits our community
