Table Top Sale Success
Thank you to everyone who contributed and came to our annual table top sale on Sunday. It was a great success and we raised a fantastic £420. A lot of cakes were eaten and some great bargains made. Thanks to all of you who donated your unwanted goods and delightful homebaked cakes. Special thanks to all of you who gave up your sunday afternoon to help run the farm's stalls.

KTCF is 40 TheKentishTowner has just published an article on the farm “Why it Matters” to celebrate the farms' 40th anniversary and our plans to mark this with an exhibition.
Our Heritage Year This year the farm marks its 40th Anniversary and to celebrate a group of local young people will curate an exhibition in December presenting life at the farm from its beginnings to today. In preparation they are researching local archives, collecting stories, photographs and memorabilia from the local community, many of whom were children in the 1970's and still live locally today. The exhibition will include a history of Gospel Oak, from 18th Century to the current day, with a special focus on the farm during the early 1970's to 1980. |

So start looking in your cupboards for old photos and even better, old film footage we could include. Look out for all the exciting Heritage activities planned for this year where you'll have the chance to share some of your favourite memories. |
