The easy way to get your Christmas food shopping done.
Do you spend the last few days before Christmas doing a massive and stressful supermarket shop?
You know the one where you go round and round the car park trying to find a space, find they have run out of something essential, and then queue for ages only to have to visit another shop to find the missing items, then lug all the shopping in to the car and home again.
Inevitably to find you have forgotten something that means someone will have to pop back to the shop to find it...
There is another way. Make your Christmas so much easier by getting everything you need delivered.
Our Christmas Dinner Boxes include everything you need for a delicious, sustainable and hassle free Christmas dinner. There is a box suitable for all sizes and dietary needs.

Our Turkeys are Properly Free-Range
Getting a genuinely free-range slow-growing breed, such as a Norfolk Black, Bronze or Bourbon Red, that has been grown to full maturity creates a completely different eating experience from the intensively farmed or even the free range birds found in a supermarket. Our properly free-range turkeys are encouraged to go outside from around six weeks old and can forage for clover and insects to supplement their diet, which is much lower in protein. This means the bird can naturally build up muscle, which can be quite tough and is one of the reasons hanging a turkey for around 10 days is such an essential part of the farm-to-plate process.
Once butchered, hanging allows the muscle fibre to break down, creating a more tender bird that still has structure. Importantly, most of the water evaporates during the hanging process, leaving flavoursome meat juices. A major important difference is that a slow-grown bird develops a hard layer of fat under the skin. This not only improves the flavour and texture, but keeps the bird moist in the oven as the fat renders down as you cook it. These turkeys are the ones you can buy directly from farms, farm shops and other independent retailers. Often they will be simply boxed and wrapped in greaseproof paper rather than a plastic bag.
4 Ways To Make Your Food Shop More Sustainable This Christmas
1: Buy Local and Seasonal: Opting for locally grown and seasonal produce can significantly reduce the emissions associated with food transportation and storage. Food grown without the need for additional inputs such as irrigation, light and heat have a much lower impact. The best way to know where your food is coming from is to buy from a local company you can trust, and choose to eat seasonal produce where possible.
2: Minimise Food Waste: Food waste is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Plan meals carefully, store food properly, and use leftovers creatively to minimise waste. Composting organic waste can also help reduce methane emissions from landfills. Many local councils now collect food waste from households or there are great composters on the market.
3: Support Sustainable Turkey Production: Know where you food is coming from and how it was produced. Traceability and transparency on food production can be really difficult when you are buying from large companies dealing with complex supply chains. By buying locally from businesses you can trust is the best way of knowing how your food has been produced. This is really important to ensure your turkey (or other meat) comes from a high welfare free-range system. The Golden Turkey Standard is a fantastic way to know that your turkey has been raised the right way. There around 27 farms certified to this standard in the UK.
4: Reduce Packaging Waste: Choose products with minimal packaging or opt for eco-friendly packaging options such as recyclable or compostable materials. Buying your vegetables and turkey from us means you will have the most minimal pastic possible on your Christmas dinner. When buying food gifts choose suppliers that minimise packaging, use plastic free alternatives, and support sustainable producers.
You won’t find birds with the Golden Turkey accreditation in a supermarket or large commercial stores. Member farmers only sell their Golden Turkey accredited festive birds at the farm gate, their online store or from selected farm shops, quality butchers and independent stores The Golden Turkey Quality Assurance Guarantee mark represents an accreditation which is only applied to birds meeting all aspects of the code of quality requirements When you order a festive bird with the Golden Turkey mark, you can be sure of an exceptional quality Christmas turkey, with rich flavour and succulence.
