Made IN KENT cont.
Kentish Pip Romney Marsh Wools Ltd
Bekesbourne Aldington
The Romney Marshes and their
sheep are synonymous, so it
seems to make sense that a
company would be created that
offers the wool that comes from
these peculiarly Kentish
creatures. The family behind
Romney Marsh Wools has been
farming the land for over 130
years, so they know a thing or
two about sheep. That’s how they
know exactly what to do after
shearing their flock to keep the
wool as soft and fine as it needs
to be. The best quality Romney and Merino fleeces are blended to a
secret recipe, and the customer gets the ultimate in gorgeous woollen
goods. As well as wool, Romney Marsh Wools offers a range of soaps,
lotions and shampoos made from the wool’s lanolin – nothing goes
to waste.

What started as a hobby has now become something of a success story;
Kentish Pip’s excellent ciders are more popular than they have ever
been. Using local, seasonal fruits and flavours, the cider makers at
Kentish Pip have discovered the secret of creating a sensational tasting
drink that is as refreshing as it is good. Varieties include Forager
Hedgerow Berry, Firespice Ginger, Wild Summer Elderflower, and
Vintage Cider.

Get In The Mood
Dover
This small but powerful independent tea company specialises in fragrant
and delicious loose-leaf tea including Earl Grey (their best seller). They
began trading in 2007 and over the last decade they have amassed quite
a following and a loyal customer base which is growing seemingly
every day. That might have something to do with the excellent quality
of the product they offer. It could also be down to the unique signature
blends that they make themselves.
