Ethical on-line Christmas shopping

The economy is going to hell in a handcart, cuts and mass job losses are expected and Christmas is coming. Depressing... but we can do something about it. We can take the pressure of our pockets and the planet’s resources by not spending so much, and we can do our bit for small businesses and worthy causes by spending our money with them.

Local produce - honey

It's great to be able to support local food producers, but not quite so easy you might think when you live in central London.
There has been quite a resurgence in urban bee keeping lately, and we are lucky enough to have a bee-keeper working SE London.  Local lady Svea who has tested it says Brockley honey...
"Tastes slightly of anisseed/ fennel. Very delicate and nice.
Cannot recommend Catford honey though- very strong fennel flavour and could only enjoy it in cooking...."

Selling pots costing under £5 not only are you benefiting your local environment, your garden, you could also be helping your ability to fight off hay-fever!


If you want to find local producers near you contact The British Bee Keepers Association
