Meet Our Producers

At Hay Hampers we only ever select our products from suppliers we admire. We look for authenticity and integrity in production methods and aim to build close working relationships with them to ensure we create hamper gifts that taste divine every time.  

Over the 35 years that we have been trading, we have built some very close relationships with a number of producers local to us so that we can visit with ease and understand their product completely. In recent years we have cast our tasting net further to European producers because we passionately believe in the products. We always look for producers who are doing their bit for the planet wherever possible, to coincide with our ambitions to deliver luxury hampers with minimal consequences for the planet. We want to focus on not only the planet as a whole, but local communities and future generations. 

We think our supplier producers are wonderful and want to share a bit about their stories so that you can understand the gift that you are giving as well as we do.
