Farmers Markets
Being 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. You can visit the local farmers
markets, held regularly in the villages, where fresh local produce
can be bought directly from local growers.
There are also many companies producing goods made from regional
ingredients, details of which can be found on the
Produced in Kent website.
Produced in Kent are dedicated to raising the profile of everything
produced in the county.
Accommodation providers in the Heart of Kent holiday guide
can also display a special symbol when they offer locally
produced food to their guests.
