Ringden Farm
Twenty-five years ago, a fruit farm in East Sussex was battered by a violent
hailstorm. Farmers Chris and Lesley Dench were left with hardly any saleable
fruit so in an attempt to make the best of a bad situation, they decided to ask
a local vineyard to make a batch of apple juice from the fruit they had managed
to salvage.
The juice sold better than expected and so this marked the beginning for Ringden
Farm apple juice.
Ringden Farm now sells over 20 award-winning single variety apple juices. They
also offer several different apple juice blends such as thirst-quenching apple
and rhubarb or the refreshing sweet and sour apple and plum.
Ringden Farm juice is 100 per cent natural: it has no added sugar, water,
colourings or preservatives. Traditional pressing methods and slow
pasteurisation preserve the flavour of the apples.
For a drink that tastes good all year round, visit Ringden Farm at the Farnham
Farmers’ Market.

Dylan’s Ice Cream
Whether the weather is hot or cold, children and adults flock to Dylan’s ice
cream van at the Farnham Farmers’ Market. Farnham Town Council met up with Ben
to discover what makes the ice cream so popular.
Dylan’s ice cream was founded by Ben Govier and is named after the family’s
much-missed black Labrador. Ben has been making ice cream since he was a boy and
uses only the freshest of ingredients to make the best possible ice cream.
Much of the fruit is sourced from local growers – strawberries come from Bishops
Waltham, blackberries from a smallholding in Guildford and rhubarb from Ben’s
Mum’s allotment. The milk comes from a farm in Froxfield and the sugar is
British-grown beet.
The ice cream on offer changes to suit the season. Naturally ripened fruit gives
the ice cream an intense delicious flavour, which conjures up fond memories of
long summer days or beautiful, crisp winter mornings.
Ben’s mission is to make the best ice cream using natural ingredients and local
produce to make unique flavours. If you have an idea for a new flavour, let Ben
know and he’ll be happy to give it a try.
Ben has been attending the Farnham Farmers’ Market for several years. He plans
to be at the July market along with supplies of tayberry ice cream but be quick
as the fruit is only in season for two weeks!

parlour at Haslemere or to book a Dylan’s ice cream van for an event.
