Coffee Morning

Speaker: Chris Levett Topic: Kent Hop farms

Chris is passionate about hops and fruit, they have been in his life pretty much since he was born many years ago! The many generations of the Levett family have been farming hops and fruit in Kent and Sussex for well over 250 years. Kent used to be the 'Garden of England' - but sadly no longer. There are less and less of people remaining who have the memories of the great tales and traditions that grew up over time in both those industries and Chris will share his memories of the past and update us with current practices.
