Christmas made easy

Planning ahead makes our Christmas extra special - capturing memories.

As a family, we cherish the holidays, especially Christmas, and we always want to make our Christmas dinner special. To achieve this, we take the time to source our ingredients from local farms, ensuring that we use the freshest and highest-quality products. We also make a conscious effort to use organic vegetables as much as possible, as we believe it is better for our health, the environment, and the local economy.

My parents love turkey and we love goose, so I cook both on Christmas day so that we can share both birds. This year, we are particularly excited because we have discovered a local turkey farm called Brunsell Farm, which is based in Dorset. 

We have also placed our order for a fresh goose with M J Coleman & Son, a reputable and well-established farm located at Hewish Farm near Milton Abbas. 

We are eagerly awaiting our annual trip to their farm gates to collect them ourselves. Over the years we have experienced all weathers including deep snow, but the memories we make every year on the journey are amazing.

We take great pride in supporting our local farming community and are always excited to sample the delicious, high-quality produce that they offer. By sourcing our food directly from the farm, we can ensure that it is fresh, ethically raised, and of the highest possible quality.

Vegetables

There is definitely a difference in the taste of organic vegetables and therefore I've ordered from both Riverford and Abel & Cole this year. There will be no stress as I have all the vegetables I need arriving at my home. You can book your Christmas order now, use the codes below to get a discount off your first box, a perfect opportunity to get organic vegetables for your Christmas meal at a discount. I don't have to fight at the supermarket or risk the empty shelves in the days before.

Riverford

You can use a discount of £15 to really get started with Riverford - trying an iconic veg box, a recipe box for a dine-in treat, or ordering whatever they fancy. For each friend referred, we'll also add to our fund for harvesting and donating gluts of veg to FareShare South West, who fight hunger by redistributing surplus food. Help us feed those in need, and help friends live life on the veg! join Riverford

Friends get 50% off their first two fruit and veg boxes.

I've also started to stock up on store cupboard items such as vacuum packed chestnuts for my 
Chestnut Stuffing - I've already bought fresh cranberries so that I can make my Cranberry and Orange Sauce and will also make preserves ready as presents.

We can't wait to see how our Christmas dinner turns out this year!
