Breakfasts promote Welsh food

Farmers from Montgomeryshire were once again heating up the frying pans and firmly put the spotlight on the top quality food available throughout Wales.

A breakfast held at Plas Du, Llanrhaeadr Ym Mochnant, was part of the FUW’s Farmhouse breakfast week, which promotes the quality premium local produce that farmers grow for us every day of the year.

During the week, over 27 breakfast functions were held across Wales, which raised nearly £15,000 for the FUW President’s charity appeal.

“It was about showcasing the most important meal of the day in a bid to raise awareness of the health and nutritional benefits of breakfast and the huge variety of top quality farm produce available in Wales – ranging from bacon, sausages and eggs and even Shiitake Mushrooms,” said FUW Montgomeryshire CEO Emyr Wyn Davies.

“We loved having everyone there and I thank all those who supported us this year either by cooking, sponsoring produce or helping us raise money for our worthy charities.”

All the proceeds from both breakfasts will be split between Alzheimer’s Society Cymru and Farming Community Network.
