FARMHOUSE kitchens across Wales filled the air with the wonderful smell of freshly cooked breakfast produce last month as members and friends of the Farmers’ Union of Wales once again supported the annual Farmhouse Breakfast week.

The total of 13 breakfasts, which were held across Meirionnydd, Caernarfon, Denbigh and Flintshire and Ceredigion, raised £6,500 for the FUW’s chosen charity British Heart Foundation Cymru.

Over 650 friends and members of the FUW indulged in locally sourced breakfast produce ranging from bacon, eggs, sausages, cheese and other dairy products to promote the benefits of eating a healthy and balanced breakfast every day.

As members and friends of the Union came together around the breakfast table, many used the opportunity to share their thoughts and worries about the state of the industry.

FUW President Glyn Roberts, who hosted a breakfast function at his farm Dylasau Uchaf, Padog, Betws y Coed, said: “The breakfast functions offer fantastic opportunities for us on a variety of levels.

“We get to enjoy and promote the great food we produce here in Wales and through that advocate a healthy balanced diet and lifestyle, we get to raise money for our charity and we also all get to sit around the same table to share what’s on our mind.

“I would like to thank all those who supported the breakfast functions again this year – may that have been by attending, sponsoring or hosting. It is important that we come together round a table as a Union, a family and industry to safeguard what keeps the hills and valleys of Wales alive.”
