To book a stall please email [email protected] Here at Lingfield Farmers market, we offer produce that is grown, reared, or processed locally to customers living in urban and rural environments. In our case, this is from Kent, Surrey or Sussex. We want to create a warm welcoming place for people to meet and a sharing point in our community: a place for people to meet, socialise and buy quality, local food at fair prices. We want to enable small local producers to obtain a regular cash flow and a fair return for their labour through direct selling and the elimination of middlemen. We want to support more environmentally-friendly production practices such as reduction of food miles, availability of organically/pesticide-free fruit and vegetables and rearing of free-range animals, which respects their welfare. We are also keen to support environmentally friendly (e.g. bio-degradable) packaging and removal of plastic packaging. We want to encourage healthy eating through the availability of fresh, seasonal, high quality produce at realistic prices. We want to support local economic development initiatives and rural employment by encouraging small business and thus keep money within the local community. We want to provide direct contact and feedback between customer and producer so customers can assure themselves as to how produce is grown/bred/made. Finally, Lingfield Farmers’ Market is run on a not-for-profit basis. Any surplus funds will be donated to local schools, farming and other charities, and community event.
