BBC Radio 4 Food & Farming Awards 2009

  • The Goods Shed Canterbury WINS
  • BEST FOOD MARKET
  • Patrick’s Kitchen in the Goods Shed Short Listed
  • BEST FOOD TAKEAWAY

What an accolade for this seven year old operation that brings so many passionate food producers, retailers and eccentric craftsmen together under one roof in our local food market. The award is for all our customers who energetically keep the local wheel turning.

British food culture has found its feet and is a slow, steady sweep of change valuing our habitat and skills. Small independent businesses are to be celebrated for the platform they create of challenge, innovation, interaction and response. Where producer and customer enjoy convivial and fruitfull meeting.

We’re on track, full steam ahead!

The Goods Shed opened in 2002 as a daily farmers market with onsite restaurant using the local market produce. Its evolution to include a ‘food hall’ reaching further afield to stock a fuller, more complete shop – has in turn lead to a greater turnover of fresh local produce and more British Cottage industries being bought to the consumer.

Its continuing success, (your support) along with many other home grown produce outlets has, we believe, directly contributed to the supermarkets responding by stocking more local British produce.
