Shop Local Summary

Shopping local in Kent

‘Doing your bit’ doesn’t mean totally writing off your shopping life, it can mean simply switching up your habits such as supporting big name online stores to a more personal and local shopping experience by going local. Equally, while many of us think of craft fairs and small farm stores, shopping near to you can mean supporting your favourite nearby businesses that pool together those small creators and up and coming food producers. Not only does it help everyone involved but you might uncover something you’ve never tasted or used before, as well as eating as fresh as possible to supporting an individual or family!
