Have you started planning the ‘big shop’ yet?! With just a couple of weeks to go, it’s time to order your turkey, decide on your sides, book a date in to choose your tree and stock up the fridge with nibbles and booze 🌲🦃🥦🥜🥂
Why not make a pledge this year to support your local economy, reduce food miles and wastage and back British farming by shopping #farmshopsfirstforchristmas?
Yes it may cost a little more, but purchasing from farm shops directly supports your local farmers and producers whilst fostering a sense of community and connection with the people who grow and produce your food.
Not to mention, most British farm shops excel in freshness, seasonality, sustainability, and supporting ethical, local businesses that lovingly produce artisanal, small-batch products that you won’t find in the supermarket.
By backing farmers that are adopting innovative practices to combat climate change, such as regenerative farming and using renewable energy, you will be contributing to reducing carbon emissions, increasing biodiversity and creating a shift toward a more sustainable future 💪🏻
Now more than ever, British farmers need your support, and the best way you can do that is by shopping #farmshopsfirstforchristmas. Will you make the pledge?!
If so, make sure you share a pic of your haul on social media and use the #farmshopsfirstforchristmas hashtag to encourage others to do the same 👍
