Lenham Farmers' Market

Farming couple Robert and Catherine sell their cider for the first time at Lenham Country Market in Kent, while seasoned beekeepers Vince and Sue create a buzz with their honey.

Robert and Catherine are determined that their family farm in Kent should move with the times. On top of growing wheat, in recent years they’ve branched out into making craft cider, inspired by family tradition and their Tamworth pigs. Today is their very first time trading at Kent’s award-winning Lenham Country Market, and armed with plenty of bottles and samples, they hope the cider will go down well with new customers and bring home some welcome profit.

Meanwhile, self-taught beekeepers Vince and Sue create a buzz with their local honey, which they harvest from hives they keep all over the county. As regulars at market, they’re past masters at attracting sales with their passion for bees and their homemade honey products. However, as the day heats up to record high temperatures, all the traders need to keep cool to capture as many sales as they can before the market closes.
