This page: Hamerton + Jones is the brainchild of Kali and her
friend Sarah Crysell and is full of fair trade and vintage finds.
“I like to buy things that are responsibly made, especially those
made by women,” says Kali.
work of local artists, designers and craftspeople are rotated
regularly. “We call them house guests,” says Kali. “If we
find out that someone in the village has a talent, we want
to collaborate with them and support their work.” This is
going down very well. “Sarah and I have been so touched by
the village’s support of the shop and café,” says Kali. It is the
small businesses that are at the heart of village life and so,
on many levels, the café is helping to promote and unite the
local community, as well as bringing in visitors from outside.
Perhaps one day all villages will have a Hamerton +
Jones café, supplying good food, quirky gifts and a friendly
atmosphere. In the meantime, Goudhurst can celebrate.
And I need to think about getting some kitchen scissors.
