The Well Hung Meat Company will be delivering the most fantastic organic free range turkeys and geese to homes throughout the country this Christmas. The traditional, slow-growing Kelly Bronze and Norfolk Black breeds are reared on a small organic farm on the Fowey Estuary in Cornwall.

Feeding on home-grown organic grains, supplemented by clover rich pastures on which they are free to graze - all day, every day. The turkeys even have their own guardians - Rolo and Henry, two very docile and friendly aging Labradors who do a great job of keeping any would-be predators at bay. All of the processing is carried out on the farm: the longest distance the birds travel is from the field to the yard, limiting any distress to the animals and improving flavour and quality.

The company were recently endorsed with 'Taste of the West South West online retailer 2007'

Delivered fresh in time for Christmas, organic turkeys and geese are available to order online at:
www.wellhungmeat.com
or by calling 0845 230 3131.

Deli Farm Charcuterie in Delabole, Cornwall was also recognised by Taste of The West, recently winning the Champion Product Award for their Coppa Air Dried Ham. Individually rubbed with a mix of salts and spices and slowly cured, each Coppa is then pressed into a natural skin and gradually air dried over a long period of time. Ruby red in colour, the same ham also won the Best of Meat category.

Jean from Deli Farm says "Start Christmas Day with some thinly sliced Coppa in scrambled eggs - a delicious alternative to smoked salmon!"

All their pork is locally reared and processed. Curing and drying takes place in carefully controlled conditions achieving their award winning and very delicious results.

One of a kind in the South West, it is possible to order by phone with next day delivery.

The Cheese Shop in Truro has more than 70 varieties of cheese, many of which are from Cornwall or The West Country. Whilst not all are organic - they simply wouldn't be able to offer the same amount of choice - many are locally produced.

For the perfect Christmas cheese board try soft creamy St Endellion Brie from Newquay, classic Cornish Blue or Cornish Yarg, adventurous, flavoursome Cornish Crumbly or put some tang on the table with Carn Brae Goat - fresh crumbly goats cheese to cut through all that rich pudding!

Pam and Graham (pictured on right modelling our stripy Seasalt aprons) are also offering special Christmas cheese selections presented in baskets, boxes and on slate - available in the shop or for delivery. You can also pick up Christmas puddings from Pencoose Pantry, Christmas cakes, hand made fudge from Looe, Trenance chocolates, Cornish honey and Newlyn pilchards and mackerel - a veritable haven of local produce!

We love Vicky's bread... dip it in soup, toast it, spread it... whichever way you eat it, it will definitely be sandwiching our turkey this Christmas. Organic, with no improvers, stabilisers or preservatives Vicky's bread is as it should be; naturally leavened and traditional.

Farm shops throughout Cornwall stock Vicky's bread or give her a ring at her bakery in Helston:
