Why Local Matters: The Kent Producers We Love (and You Will Too)

We proudly call Kent home, and we’re constantly inspired by the amazing food producers right here in the Garden of England. From lush orchards to independent dairies and smokehouses, Kent is bursting with fresh, local flavour — and it’s exactly where we turn when building our grazes.

Supporting local isn’t just a nice idea — it’s the foundation of Graze Social. We work with small-scale, often female-owned producers to bring you the best in British cheese, charcuterie and accompaniments. Whether it’s a hand-ladled soft cheese from a Kentish dairy or a batch of sourdough crackers made just a few miles down the road, everything is chosen with care.

By sourcing locally, we reduce food miles, support independent businesses, and ensure every platter feels rooted in the place we live. These are the flavours that tell a story — of craft, of community, and of pride.

So next time you bite into that velvety blue or perfectly aged cheddar, you’re not just enjoying good food — you’re supporting the people who make it possible.

And that, to us, tastes even better.
