WHAT'S IN SEASON RIGHT NOW.......MARCH 2024

PULLING THROUGH TOWARDS SPRING...LOCAL PRODUCE IS STILL MORE THAN SATISFACTORY!

 

As we head closer to spring, we're seeing out the winter produce over the course of the next 6 to 8 weeks. We're currently experiencing a milder spell of weather and the farms are picking their times carefully for sowing for the new season. We're approaching the end of some of the local apples and pears as storerooms are becoming empty. As always, we will be at the forefront of all that's good in Kent and continue to provide some great tasting produce.
