Produced in Kent is pleased to be working with The Kent Farmers’ Markets Association. The Association brings together Farmers’ Market managers from all over the County. Their web site incorporates the latest information about all the farmers’ Markets in Kent. Click on the link to find your nearest market, opening times and much more. Through working together, the Association is able to publicise the existing network of markets and investigate the opportunities for new sites, different opening times and more convenient shopping, including partnering village, farm and independent shops and box schemes. They will help new stallholders and markets get started, maintain rigorous standards, work with producers on regulations and marketing and collaborate with other organisations involved in local food and farming.
They can be contacted at info@kfma.org.uk or through the website.
