area and when fully functioning it will allow new members to pay for their subscriptions online and existing members can renew in the same way while getting access to exclusive content, amongst other things.<\/p>\n<p>If you have already seen the new website you may have noticed that we have a shop coming soon. We&#8217;re very excited about this as visitors will finally be able to buy artisan food and drink direct from our members.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221;

We're very excited about this as visitors will finally be able to buy artisan food and drink direct from our members.<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Got a spare moment?<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>Have a look around our new website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/\"><span style=\"color: #660000;\">www.artisanfoodtrail.co.uk<\/span><\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[2235,2228],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6867"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6867"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6867\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29151,"href":"https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6867\/revisions\/29151"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
