Horsmonden Farmers’ market takes place every other Friday in the beautiful Kent village of Horsmonden. In the summer it is held on the village green and in the winter months it moves to the village hall. It is open from 9am until 12 noon. Most of our stall holders come from within 30 miles of the village. It is run on a voluntary basis by three local mums – Liz Taylor, Pippa Ankjaer and Mary Moffat.

Our Aims:

• To enable local farmers to sell their produce to local people, keeping down ‘food miles’ and giving customers direct contact with the farmer/producer.
• To give customers a wide range of fresh local produce in the village.
• To increase the customer base for local shops and businesses.
• To reduce the environmental impact of local shopping.
• To provide a fund raising opportunity for local and community groups and charities.

Local charity/community opportunities

At each market the refreshment stall is taken over by a local charity or community group. All profits they receive from the stall on the day are for their group. On average the refreshment stall makes between £50 and £100.

We would welcome new groups to run the refreshment stall on an ad hoc basis. Any queries should be directed to Pippa Ankjaer on 01892 725528.

Craft stalls

Although Horsmonden Farmers’ market is primarily a produce market we do regularly have guest craft stalls including jewellery, greetings cards, candles etc. We would welcome approaches from any local business interested in a stall at the market. Any queries should be directed to Mary Moffat on 01892 722528.
