As the entrance is flanked by the now boarded up Pizza Hut and a former soon to be closed Blockbusters it is certainly not a great advert for the historic market town but persevere it is worth the effort.
This is only the second month for the farmers market and which is small and a real gem www.kfma.org.uk/ Green and White canopies blend perfectly with the dappled shade of the towering lime trees shimmering in the sunshine and the cobbled streets, red geraniums, benches and fountain all add to the atmosphere in what is left of the old town.
You will find a good variety of food, produce and plants. Two stood out for me and both are new to the market this month. Sylvia and Terry Kentish Chocolates sylviaandterry.com/ locally sourced fresh cream chocolates, melt in the mouth macaroons and very fine samples.
I was also delighted to see Invicta Herbs www.invictaherbs.co.uk with the very knowledgeable Susan on hand to offer advice about my exceptionally thirsty Vietnamese Coriander a spicy hot salad leaf for Thai food which I bought from her a month or so ago at Godmersham Fair.
For a coffee or tea stop with a difference the fun and very reasonably priced Lil' Tea Tank "a little truck with big plans to bring tea, cake and a jolly good time to the nation" is a welcome sight.
The stalls have doubled since the July market and September 7 should be a date for your diary
