In 2009 the Parish Council undertook a questionnaire to form the basis of a Parish Plan for the community. The plan identified, amongst other things a request for a Farmers Market to provide an outlet for local producers and a way of purchasing fresh, quality produce direct from the producer.
The markets boast a fantastic range of beautiful stalls, selling wholesome locally-produced food and other goods, including an excellent choice of hand-made arts and crafts.
Known as “the friendly village market”, we run on the second Sunday of every month, all year round, at the village hall in Greenhead, from 10am to 2pm. Meet the producers of delicious local foods and local craftspeople, learn new recipes and find out what’s going on in the local area and even some of the local history, over cakes & fair-trade coffee/tea…
Whether you’re shopping for gourmet game, homemade preserves or delectable cakes and patisserie, our award-winning market is all about fantastic food, a great atmosphere and a true sense of community.
Ashford’s monthly Farmers’ Market launched in the town centre on Sunday 6th July 2014. It has once again been placed in the top 10 farmers Markets in Kent for 2016. In 2015 it was placed in the Top 10 at only 6 months old!
