Food and Farming
Manx farmers are the reason the Isle of Man looks the way it does. They manage 79% of the Island's landscape, and produce unique quality foods full of the rich flavours of the Manx countryside.
You can buy Manx produce in supermarkets or from our excellent farmers' markets now cropping up around the Isle of Man. You can also shop on-line.

Harvest Isle of Man
Harvest Isle of Man was launched in conjunction with the Department of Tourism & Leisure’s Taste IOM quality assurance scheme for all eateries. Members of the scheme are inspected annually by independent assessors, who assess every aspect of the customer experience including public areas, cleanliness, bar and restaurant, hospitality, service and efficiency and food quality.
In association with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, ‘Harvest Isle of Man’ has been launched to recognise and reward those restaurants, cafes, tea rooms and take away businesses for their commitment to and promotion of the Island’s wonderful array of locally produced food.
The assessment takes into account not only the use of local produce from the Island but also how this is promoted and indentified on the menus.
Additional credit is awarded for creative use of Isle of Man recipes, staff knowledge and awareness of local suppliers, review of menus to reflect seasonality, and the availability of named local ice-cream, cheese and beverages on the menu.
