Peebles Farmers’ Market
Last updated 15 May 2026
One of the strongest Borders farmers' markets, held in the riverside town of Peebles on the banks of the Tweed. Borders lamb and hill beef are the backbone — the surrounding farmland is some of Scotland's best for both. Local game (pheasant, venison) from the Tweed Valley estates, artisan cheese from small Borders producers, and seasonal soft fruit from Lothian farms rounding out the stalls.
