\u200bYes, times are uncertain at the moment with the Coronavirus situation and we\u2019re aware that we maybe adding yet another article to everything else you\u2019ve read about it, hence the reason for our more calming picture choice above.<\/p>\n
We at The Artisan Food Trail are still working hard to keep the awareness up about our food and drink producer members, despite the current state of affairs.<\/p>\n
We want to reassure you that everything is okay here and we\u2019re managing to operate in very much the way we did before the events unfolded. Our office was never open to visitors so little to no risk of infection. As it’s just the two of us, it\u2019s easy to now work from home. We have everything we need – the telephone line is patched through and we can pick up emails in the normal way, so if anyone needs to contact us, it\u2019s as if nothing has changed.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll be continuing to champion our members via our website and through social media and as ever, encouraging the public to support independent small food and drink producers.<\/p>\n
It is worrying that many food events are having to be cancelled or postponed, but we understand this is for the best for our country in the long term. Of course this will have an impact on small food and drink producers but there are other ways to help keep them going. If your farm shop or delicatessen is open, use it. If not, or you\u2019re self isolating and can\u2019t go out, then go online and order direct from those small producers. Many sell from their own websites and you can find links through to them on the various members\u2019 pages<\/a><\/strong> on The Artisan Food Trail.<\/p>\n Although it\u2019s impossible to predict what the future will bring, we are taking one day at a time and never giving up. Because we appreciate that our members may need some help with their businesses at this time, we\u2019ve given them some extra time on their annual memberships by adding 90 days free of charge.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re staying indoors and looking for something to take your mind off the distressing news, how about getting creative in the kitchen? There are lots of recipes<\/b><\/a> on our website to try.<\/p>\n As we said, we\u2019re open for business as usual and you can follow what we\u2019re up to on our Twitter<\/b><\/a>\u00a0and Facebook<\/b><\/a>\u00a0pages as well as our blog<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n Remember, be kind, think of others, stay well and keep smiling.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_sidebar area=”sidebar-1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ remove_border=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ background_color=”#863e1d” custom_margin=”-4px|||||” custom_padding=”0px||20px|” transparent_background=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_module=”25399″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ padding_mobile=”off” make_equal=”on” column_padding_mobile=”on” admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”||5px|” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_line_height=”1.3em” background_layout=”dark” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For the latest producer info, shows, markets, recipes, competitions and more each month.<\/p>\n Please be assured that we don’t sell or pass on your information to third parties.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_layout=”dark” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_contact_form email=”info@artisanfoodtrail.co.uk” custom_message=”%%Name%% %%Email%%” success_message=”Thank you for subscribing to The Artisan Food Trails email list.
