Mother’s Day and Easter food and drink gifts inspiration from independent producers

Spring and hope are fresh in the air and Mother’s Day (Sunday March 14) and Easter (Sunday April 4) are the next celebratory occasions on the horizon. Very few of us have been able to spend as much time with our families as we would have liked to over the past year but sending the gift of food and drink is a sure fire way to bring smiles to people’s faces while our chances to explore are still limited. We hope you enjoy this delicious selection from Local Food Britain members.
