All the festive essentials available locally
The message may come a little late for some - but it is possible to have an entirely Manx Christmas dinner.
So says DEFA, which is promoting the benefits of spending local during the festive season.
It's part of a push to grow the Island's food and drink industry by £50 million in the coming years.
Islanders are being encouraged by the Department to buy as much local produce as possible for their festive feasts.
Turkey, the traditional trimmings and even Christmas pudding can now be sourced locally.
Food Development Manager Andrew Lees says it makes for low 'food miles', and keeps more cash in the Manx economy:
MAIB investigation into fatality aboard Manx registered bulk carrier
Friday evening sailings subject to possible disruption or cancellation
More services to be temporarily relocated from Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital
Warning in place for coastal overtopping
