May 2021 be a year of peace, health and prosperity 🌟
Farm shops & farmers markets are preparing for their busiest #christmas ever as a recent @nfum survey reveals that 40% of people plan to use farm shops and local producers more this festive season.
We encourage people to continue to #shoplocal in 2021 ♥️
