Cupar Farmers' Market
Last updated 15 May 2026
Fife's inland farmers market, held monthly in the county town of Cupar. Draws producers from across the Kingdom of Fife — East Neuk fishing boats supply the seafood stalls, Howe of Fife farms provide the vegetables, and several small dairies and bakeries fill out the offering. Less well-known than St Andrews market but often better value and less crowded. The town itself is a pleasant market town with good cafés and a characterful high street. A 20-minute drive from St Andrews or Dundee.
