Bridge Farmers’ Market first opened its doors to customers in November 2010. Market research by an environmental group “Bridge Going Green” revealed that a Farmers’ Market was one of the top environmental initiatives that the local area wanted and so Bridge Farmers’ Market was born.
We want to create a vibrant shopping experience for shoppers quite unlike any other. We want to encourage our shoppers to see, touch and taste the food before they buy – and we think they do. We have built up a base of 32 + stalls some of which only visit us for special events, others are seasonal and we have a regular and loyal base of about 16 stallholders. You can shop with us for all your essentials such as bread, vegetables, meat and game and treat yourself with cheesecakes, olives, plants and even hand made clothes.
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.
