Valentine's Day Gift Guide
DUCKS FARM SHOP
The Sweet Hamper
This hamper is for those of you with a sweet tooth. You can build your own hamper with the array of sweet treats we have in the shop. Choose from chocolates, hot chocolate spoons, shortbread and biscuits, meringues and much much more. The benefit being you can choose as little or as many products as you like. We also have plenty of savoury treats such as Weymouth 51 chilli sauces, charcuterie (See below) and more if chocolate isn’t your partner’s thing.
The Savoury Hamper
As hinted above, you can build your own savoury hamper. We have fantastic produce from The Real Cure, amazing charcuterie made right here in Dorset. They have won Great Taste stars on 9 of their products and regularly sell out of their delicious produce. They just can’t make it fast enough! To add to your savoury hamper, we also have a great selection of local and British made cheeses such as Black Cow Cheddar and Blacksticks Blue. We also love Dorset Red, not seen pictured here. If you’d like to build a savoury hamper, just give us a call to make sure we can get things in stock for you in time! 01305 534111.
The Luxury Hamper
Say it with bubbles this year, as there’s no time like now to really indulge! Pair Furleigh Estate’s Classic Cuvee with some locally smoked salmon from Chesil Smokery. The zingy citrus acidity in this English Sparkling Wine is like a squeeze of lemon on the salmon, complementing one another perfectly. Serve the wine chilled and the salmon on blinis as a starter (then follow up with our Valentine’s Meal Deal!). What a perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with this luxury local produce.
Beer Lovers Hamper
Take a trip around the Dorset coast with this selection of beers from The Dorset Brewing Company. If the beautiful Jurassic Coast isn’t right on your doorstep for your daily constitutional then you can sip your way around it in the comfort of your own home (and out of the Great British Weather!). The beer lover in your life will certainly thank you for it! Pop into the shop to see the many other local beers, ales and ciders we have.
Alcohol Free
If our fantastic array of locally produced wines, beers and spirits are not your thing, then why not try this tasty rose lemonade from Fentimans. Don’t be put off the word ‘rose’ as it is delicately flavoured and really well balanced. The pink colouring is a perfect nod to St. Valentine’s Day. Pour into champagne glasses to make the evening really special. We have a large selection of soft drinks in the shop if rose lemonade isn’t to your liking – just pop in and visit us to see.
