Local Green Stuff is being built to strengthen local economies, support independent producers, reduce unnecessary reliance on long supply chains, and make local shopping easier for the communities around them.

Markets and food hubs already bring producers, products and local businesses together in real places. You support small businesses, give communities places to buy from local growers, makers, bakers, farmers and independent traders, and help keep local economies moving.
But many ordinary, time-poor customers still do not use markets and hubs regularly. They like the idea of shopping locally, but supermarkets and big online retailers are easier, faster and more familiar.
Local Green Stuff is being built to help close that gap.

Everything you need to be found, fill stall spaces and strengthen your trader community.
Show where your market is, when it runs, what kind of traders attend, and why people should visit.
Add your dates, opening times, website, social links, contact details, photos and a short description of your market.
Link to your application form, booking page, enquiry form or waiting list, and promote available pitches, seasonal spaces, guest trader spots or food vendor opportunities.
Local Green Stuff helps you promote opportunities, but you stay in control of applications, approvals, trader standards, categories and who is accepted.
Invite your stallholders to create their own Local Green Stuff listings so customers can find them before and after market day.
List your market for free, promote stall spaces without listing fees or commission, and choose later whether shared checkout and local collection is useful for you.
Make your hub easier to find, easier to use, and a clearer part of weekly local routines.
Show where your food hub is, what you offer, how people can order, and when they can collect.
Add your ordering process, collection times, membership details, website, social links, contact details, photos and a short description of your hub.
Link to your supplier form, producer application page, enquiry form or membership route so suitable local growers, makers and food producers can connect with you.
Invite the producers linked to your hub to create their own Local Green Stuff listings, helping customers understand who they are buying from.
Make it easier for busy customers to find local food, understand how collection works, and use your hub as part of their weekly routine.
List your food hub for free, keep control of your own ordering system, and choose later whether shared checkout and local collection is useful for you.
Your market or food hub already brings local businesses together. A Local Green Stuff listing helps make that network easier for customers to see, understand and support.
Stallholders, growers, makers, bakers and producers connected to your market or hub can create their own Local Green Stuff listings, showing what they sell, where they are based, where they trade, and how customers can find or contact them.
For customers, it makes the whole network feel clearer and more connected. They can discover the people and businesses behind the stalls, boxes, collections and products, instead of seeing everything as separate, scattered or hard to follow.
As more of your traders and producers join Local Green Stuff, your market or hub becomes part of a stronger local network.
For markets and hubs that do want to be involved later, shared checkout and local collection could create a much stronger local shopping system. Customers would be able to order from several nearby producers in one place, then collect through trusted local places they already know.
This could bring more non-market regulars into markets, help food hubs become easier for busy households to use, give small producers more regular sales opportunities, and keep more spending circulating locally.
Customers find nearby markets, hubs, growers and makers in one clear place.
One basket pulls together multiple local producers in the area.
Pickup through familiar local spots, markets or hubs they already know.
You do not have to take part in shared checkout or collection to benefit. Your market or hub can still become easier to find, your traders gain another route to customers, and the local community gets a clearer way to discover what is already happening nearby.
