Tonbridge Farmers Market 11^th September 2011

and then the 2nd Sunday of every month. 9.30am – 1.30pm

Sovereign Way, Tonbridge TN9 1RG

The biggest market yet!

 

 The 4th Tonbridge Farmers Market is happening on Sunday 11^th September.

 

With over 55 stalls booked in already this month it is going to be the biggest market to date. More producers are showing an interest so we may have a few more by the 11^th.

 

Customer numbers were a bit down at the last market but August and January are well known to have a lower footfall than the rest of the year. Most producers said their takings are going up month on month.

 

The Market Kitchen was again a great success last month with lots of the customers watching the demonstrations and also getting a taster of the food cooked plus getting an idea of what’s available at the market. Cooking this month will be Jenny from the Happy Apple, - she will be promoting the benefits of cooking with your children.

Brenda from Beech Dog Bakery will be "Cooking for your Dog" - the demonstration will show a healthy alternative that is actually cheaper than the vast majority of commercial foods. Beach Dog Bakery "Liberty" mix provides the core of the dog's meal providingthe balanced level of vitamins minerals they need to go with a raw or cooked diet. She will be cooking a selection of recipe ideas using meats and fish with veg pasta and rice. She will be making up the recipes on our leaflets and feeding guide included in the pack.... ...So bring the dog along for a taster.

Stuart and Lucy from Lucy’s Veal will be cooking using some of their great products.

 

Neil Scott our resident chef from The Globe and Rainbow will be making some wonderful dishes with produce he finds on the market.
