This will be another great Tonbridge Farmers Market, happening on Sunday 10th June.
With over 75 stalls booked in already this month, it is going to be a great market .
More News Soon!
This really is the start of the farmers market season, lots of local fresh produce including asparagus from Groombridge.
The Smokehouse are with us for the first time and if they don’t smoke it it’s not worth smoking.
Harrington Foods will be back with their world famous Benenden Sauce and of course Matthew from Kent Fine Foods will be selling his Lavender Jelly as seen on Our Food on BBC2, he may even be signing autographs.
Last month we had the delights of:
The Market Kitchen (It’s a dog’s dinner)
As always the cookery demonstrations will run with the theme of the market, so let’s hope there will be some asparagus recipes.
Ian from Scrum Diddly’s will be first up with a Scrummy porridge. This is going to be a regular spot to start the morning.
Victoria from Little Brittany will be making some fabulous crepes.
Neil from the Globe and Rainbow, Kilndown, will just be cooking what he finds on the market, lets hope it includes asparagus. As always a treat to watch.
And for the dogs Malcolm from Beach Dog Bakery will be showing you what you can cook up at home for furry friends at 10.45am and 12.15pm (cooking times may vary).
