Burren Baskets: Enjoy the Burren in a Basket this Autumn
Back in April 2020, under the motto “If you can’t come to the Burren, let the Burren come to you”, the Burren Smokehouse together with other members of the Burren Food Trail launched the “Burren Baskets” in direct response to people not being able to go shopping and visit their families as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The Burren Baskets turned out to be an immense hit with those who received them as gifts. So much so that many of the recipients ordered them for others as a present.
The initiative is a collaboration featuring some of the area’s best known award-winning artisan food producers, such as the Burren Smokehouse and St. Tola Irish Goat Cheese, with the support of the Burren Ecotourism Network.
As well as cheese from St Tola Irish Goat Cheese and Burren Smoked Irish Organic Salmon, the Burren Baskets include gouda from Aillwee Cave, black and white pudding from Market House in Ennistymon as well as a delicious beetroot chutney from Burren Fine Wine & Food in Ballyvaughan.
They also created a third Burren Basket, the Breakfast variety, that ships very well to overseas destinations like the US and Canada.
Apart from that, you can make up your own food hampers by selecting individual items for a wonderful gift that will bring joy and delight to every table. Christmas is coming – so there is a marvelous gift idea for you!
Hampers are delivered directly to the recipient’s doorstep in Ireland and to countries abroad, providing a contactless transaction which is increasingly important in this time where social-distancing and self-isolation is still a thing.
The hampers are available permanently now and make an ideal gift to surprise family members or friends who are lovers of award-winning artisan food, or a well deserved personal treat.
