It's beginning to look a lot like Crispmas with Fairfields Farm Turkey Crisps

Yes, it's beginning to look a lot like Crispmas with Fairfields Farm Turkey Crisps.

When the brilliant family who farm at Fairfields Farm in Essex have a good idea, they don't do it by halves!

They go all out to ensure that whatever they do is done exactly right.

And so it is with their Turkey flavoured crisps.

They grow the potatoes and the Kellybronze turkeys on their own farm.

Then they carefully handcook the crisps, adding just the right amount of herbs (sage, parsley and thyme) to create their signature dish, their Turkey Crisps.

What are they like?

They are firmly crispy, yet not too crisp, being cooked to perfection.

And they taste just asw you would expect a Kellybronze Turkey to taste, when deliciously melded with the finest Essex-grown potatoes.

And don't forget, Kellybronze Turkeys are "Bred to be Wild."

You can learn more by visiting them at www.fairfieldsfarmcrisps.co.uk or call 01206 241613.

(That's Christmas would like to express our thanks to Fairfield Farm Crisps for their invaluable help in putting this feature together, including supplying the image and the crisps!)
