Welcome to Local Farmer Magazine.

A magazine made for the farms of Cumbria, Northumberland & Scottish Borders, and posted free to your door.

Every issue brings together the machinery, services and businesses that keep this region's farms running, from new and used tractors to livestock equipment, land agents, vets, insurance and everything in between. No subscription, no login, no searching — just a magazine that lands on the farm, ready to read when you've got five minutes to sit down with it.

Local Farmer is built for this region, by people who know it. We're not a national title with a couple of pages tacked on for the North — every advertiser, every listing, every page is chosen because it's relevant to farms right here.

Local Farmer magazine front cover issue 1 October November 2026

What we do.

Local Farmer connects the farming community of Cumbria, Northumberland and Scottish Borders with the businesses that serve it.

We publish a free, printed magazine covering agricultural machinery - new and used - alongside the full range of services farms rely on: livestock and dairy equipment, buildings and land, professional and financial services, labour, training, vehicles, and more.

Every issue is posted directly to farms across the region, so it reaches the people who actually need it, without anyone having to go looking for it. Our aim is simple: make it easier for farmers to find what they need, and easier for the businesses that serve farming to be found.

Why it's great!

  • It comes to you - no searching required

    No websites to browse, no apps to download. Local Farmer arrives at the farm, so the machinery, services and offers you need are already in your hands.

  • Read it at your own pace

    Keep it in the tractor cab, leave it on the kitchen table, take it in for a cup of tea at the auction mart café. A printed magazine fits around your day — not the other way round.

  • Genuinely local, genuinely relevant

    Every advertiser and every listing is chosen because it matters to farms in Cumbria, Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. No wading through pages of content aimed at farms three hundred miles away.

  • It supports the local farming economy

    Local Farmer is funded entirely by advertisers who want to reach this region's farms — which means it costs you nothing, while keeping money and trade moving between local farms and local businesses.
