During this (until recently!) very dry, hot summer, British farmers have been having a hard time. Brockmans are up against it at the moment and we ask you to join us in supporting them. Perry Court is a small farm that has been run by the Brockman family since the early 1950s – in fact Kent’s first organic & biodynamic farm. Over the generations the family has worked hard to build the business and improve the soils and crops to today’s high standards. Now in the third generation, Patrick and Grainne run Brockmans Farm Produce with the fourth generation of the family close behind and learning the ropes.
Brockmans have stopped stocking imported produce for the mean time and will solely be stocking Kent grown produce. They are the first stall as you come down Haynes Lane. Hannes will be there to serve you.

This delightful white is a blend of 90% Falanghina and 10% Fiano from 8 hectares of vines grown by Alessio di Majo in the small village of Martarosa. Come taste!”
