to re-think how they buy. In some cases, for example,

shopping has been moved online to ensure no-one misses out on unique local gifts and flavours, which is great news for Christmas. Local Marque retailers are offering a wide range of fabulous hand crafted and artisan produced items which are perfect for the Christmas table or as thoughtful gifts. And, not only are you getting wonderful produce, you get a good feeling knowing you’re supporting local. Research shows that £10 spent with a local independent business means that £50 goes back into the local economy. Local businesses provide personality and character to the area, create local jobs and often offer a more focused customer service. Local goods themselves are more original and individual, are healthier for the environment as they are produced sustainably and clock up less miles to market. Not only that, the New Forest Marque supports local traditions, crafts and practices. There are many ways you can (newforestmarque.co.uk) to check out the wide selection of goods on offer. We’re lucky to live in a beautiful area that’s been shaped by traditional farming methods. There’s beef, pork, turkey, goose support local makers and producers. Head to the New Forest Marque website
