Welcome to the Kent Farmers Market Association.

This is a voluntary Association formed to help markets and by definition, stallholders, prosper. It is run by volunteers and is a not for profit organisation. The concept is based on the premise that by working together we can be stronger than the individual parts. Initially it was originally developed to help Market Managers but we now extend membership to include benefits for producers.

Membership involves subscriptions which will be used to market the markets’ and to help you improve your businesses. By working together as a large group we can help you REDUCE operating costs.
For your membership fee you will get:
  • Quantity discounts on supplies and some events (click here)
  • Discounted insurance package
  • Priority listing on our web site and your own web site page.
  • Links from our web site to your own website, social Facebook and twitter
  • Priority information regarding new events, new markets, new legislation.

See our membership booklet  and 'Together, we can make a difference'
