British farmers have a fantastic story to tell and Christmas is the perfect opportunity to showcase the huge variety that British farmers produce. Throughout December we've been packing our social channels full of reasons to #BackBritishFarming and buy British over the festive period.
From recipes and cooking tips to choosing British Christmas trees and promoting British sparkling wines, we've been sharing a whole host of seasonal content over on our public facing website, Countryside online.
Get involved
