Good food comes from near.

Kent and Surrey are full of people doing careful, patient work with land, animals and time.

Growers up before dawn. Cheesemakers fussing over a single culture. Bakers who haven’t changed their recipe in forty years. Most of them aren’t on supermarket shelves or in the papers. They’re known to their neighbours, their market regulars, and whoever was lucky enough to find them.

Plenty Near is our way of making them easier to find. We’re starting close to home in Kent and Surrey, and we’ll grow county by county from there.

It’s independent. There are no sponsored listings and nobody pays to be here. Producers are featured because their food is good.
