Indirect Sales

Country Markets baking and preserves can now be found in an increasing number of local community shops and various other outlets.

Indirect sales can provide both an additional and an alternative outlet to selling directly in the traditional way. These small beginnings will expand further and eventually extend into gardening and crafts.  All goods sold Indirectly for resale must carry full correct ingredient labelling.

The same membership and food hygiene criteria apply to both Direct and Indirect sales producers.

Information on all aspects of correct labelling and a full programme for producing your labels from our members area of the website.

All Country Markets products are freshly prepared by our Cooks in their own kitchens. They are produced with great care and to the highest standard, using traditional skills and often with homegrown produce and locally sourced ingredients.

If you asked each Cook, why they joined Country Markets they would all have a slightly different reason. Many join because they just love cooking and being a member of Country Markets gives them the opportunity to share their passion for good food. Others have their own speciality dish which they love sharing with appreciative customers; some simply want to contribute highly valued knowledge and talent to their local community, particularly as traditional cooking skills are once again being recognised as especially important for the future ‘health of the nation’, and then there are those cooks seeking to build a home-based business. Above all, being a Country Markets Cook offers you the opportunity to contribute to the growing interest in high quality, homemade, wholesome food.
