Latest: Home Deliveries and Online Shopping from Local Producers
Many Hampshire Fare members, including producers, farm shops, village stores and box schemes, already offer home delivery of fresh and larder produce. In the current circumstances, others are also stepping in to meet consumer needs - with new online sales and delivery services. These services, whether long established or new, are not only providing essential support to communities. Buying local means that consumers will help to keep the local economy resilient in these difficult times.
