All products from this new range are gluten free, non-GM, chemical free, and produced locally by local people. 

 

What is a Gourmet Hamper?

Gourmet (def) a connoisseur of the delicacies of the table.  Of a standard required by a gourmet: first rate.
From the Old French for wine merchant's man
Hamper (def) a large basket... made from cane wickerwork etc.
