And you're still to buy your tree, you can buy a locally grown, freshly cut tree here too!

Situated just outside Bungay, Fen Farm Dairy can produce a delicious range of raw milk products including milk, cream, buttermilk, cultured butter and their famous Baron Bigod Cheese (which was served at the wedding of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle!). Stop by the farm's vending machine to stock up for your Christmas or Boxing Day feasts but make sure you call ahead if you want to buy a whole round of cheese, as they don't fit in the machine!

On Boxing Day, tuck into a mouth-watering ham from Emmett's; the oldest artisan ham and bacon producer in the UK.
