Penshurst Farmers Market :- Kent Food and Drink Award’s Best Farmers’ Market in 2015, and named by The Times in its Top Ten markets in the UK, we have over 30 stalls offering the best local food and drink, and set against the wonderful backdrop of Penshurst Place. It attracts a loyal following, as well as appealing to day trippers. The stalls provide a huge variety of fresh, local and healthy produce for your everyday needs, for treats, for a picnic or as a gift. Particularly popular are our fresh fish from Hastings and seafood from Rye; free-range meats and game; bread; deli products; three cheese stalls; beer and fruit juices. You’ll also find fruit and vegetables, chutneys and jams, cakes, eggs, honey and plants.
Kent Farmers’ Market Association represents most of the Farmers’ Markets in Kent (and some beyond).
Our objective is to:
help market managers and stallholders improve standards through guidance and training
promote best practice
encourage collaboration in marketing and purchasing;
help stallholders find outlets for their products;
advise new markets on establishing strong foundations;
stimulate the understanding of the benefits of local food;
drive up footfall and spend per shopper
promote farmers’ markets to the public.
We believe that farmers’ markets provide shoppers with high quality, nutritious, traceable, fresh local food and drink.
They act as business incubators, giving small food and craft enterprises a low cost opportunity to sell direct to the public.
They provide a social hub, provide vital local services and contribute to the development of robust and sustainable local economies.
