As Ashford and Tenterden are located in the heart of the Garden of England, it should come as no surprise that there is a wealth of good quality locally grown produce on our doorstep.  There are also many companies producing goods made from regional ingredients.  Details of the companies and their products can be found on the Produced in Kent website. Produced in Kent are dedicated to raising the profile of everything produced in the County.

You can also visit the local farmers markets, held regularly in the villages, where fresh local produce can be bought directly from local growers.

Accommodation providers in the Heart of Kent holiday guide can also display a special symbol when they offer locally produced food to their guests.

Don't forget to try the delicious wines, ciders and apple juices at one of the award winning vineyards in the borough during your visit.  Biddenden Vineyards and the Chapel Down Winery both offer tours and tastings, as well as gift shops and eating facilities.  Contact the Tourist Information Centre in Ashford for more details.
