COPPLESTONE Farm

Shop, at Dulings Farm,

is starting to prepare for

Christmas with the introduction

of food baskets.

Emma Hughes has been

running the shop for six

months and has made a

number of improvements

to make it more welcoming

and easier for shoppers

to use.

She is sourcing more

goods locally including

coffee from the Crediton

Coffee Company, meat and

sausages from Chinns,

meat and turkeys from M

C Kelly, winter vegetables

from Thornes Farm Shop

and cakes from Twinkle

Little Tarr.

People can order a basket

that can include goods

from a range of products

available at the shop including,

dairy, meat, fruit,

vegetables, cakes, coffee

and dry products.

Emma says she prepares

the baskets for Helmores estate

agents of Crediton that

are used to welcome buyers

to their new homes.

From September 2,

Emma will be taking orders

for Christmas and the baskets

can be made to order

from any of the goods on

sale at the shop and can be

for any value.

The last date for Christmas

orders of meat will be

the end of November.

Emma explained that

customers can take the

stress out of the last minute

shopping in the busy run

up to Christmas by preordering

their Christmas

basket from Copplestone

Farm Shop.
