 CHRISTMAS 2007 NEWSLETTER

North Yorkshire boasts an abundance of farm shops whose shelves are bursting with seasonal produce. From glossy greens and earthy root vegetables to delicious beef, pork, lamb and game - the seasonal larder has so much choice.

Also the festive spirit will be alive and kicking at North Yorkshire’s farm shops, tea rooms and cafes throughout December.

Check out all the seasonal events on our website, where you’ll find mulled wine and minced pies, carol singers and visits from Santa to get you into the Christmas mood.

‘Tis the Season…!

Yours sincerely,
