Tonbridge Farmers Market is one of Kent's largest and most established farmers markets, regularly bringing together ups to 40 stallholders from across the county and neighbouring parts of Sussex and Surrey. Held each month in the centre of Tonbridge, the market is organised through the Kent Farmers' Market Associate who work to ensure stalls re run by the people who grow, rear or make what they sell. The result is a market that reflects the agricultural richness of the "Garden of England": fruit growers, vineyards, cheesemakers, bakers, beekeepers and small farms all trading side by side. You might find fresh vegetables from local market gardens such as Collards Fruit & Veg, orchard juices from producers like Chegworth Valley, traditional sourdough from Kent bakeries and honey harvested from apiaries across the Weald. Alongside them are small specialist makers producing everything from chilli sauces and preserves to charcuterie, pastries and farmhouse cheeses. It's the sort of market where the stallholder behind the table is usually the same person who harvested the apples, baked the bread or bottled the cider earlier in the week - making it a good place to get a snapshot of Kent's independent food producers in one place.
