Shopping and eating in season this September
‘Tis the season for fresh, ripe autumnal fruits and vegetables, with September being one of the most
exciting months in any foodie’s calendar. Apples are turning gorgeous shades of rosy red, fat blackberries
are ready for the picking, and juicy plums are ripening by the hundreds, ready to be used in your next
after-dinner creation. Take advantage of this season’s plentiful harvest and support Kent growers by
visiting one of our favourite local shops.
