Those living in the county of Meirionnydd enjoyed a farmhouse breakfast bonanza at the end of January, with the local Farmers’ Union of Wales (FUW) team hosting a total of four farmhouse breakfasts.
The events were held as part of the FUW’s Farmhouse breakfast week campaign and raised the profile of Welsh produce and got politicians, key stakeholders and the general public to understand the important role the food and drink sector plays in their everyday lives.
“We built on the success of previous years in Meirionnydd, and our 4 breakfast events were a great success. Again we are grateful to everyone for the support and co-operation, and of course to those sponsored the events, as well as our keynote speakers Dyfrig Siencyn, leader of Gwynedd County Council, Glyn Roberts, FUW President, well-known tenor Aled Wyn Davies, Pentremawr, Llanbrynmair and Liz Saville Roberts MP for Dwyfor Meirionnydd,” said FUW Meirionnydd County Executive Officer Huw Jones.
Breakfast functions in the county were held at Caffi Frongoch, near Bala, at Tymawr, Carrog, Corwen, at Llew Coch, Dinas Mawddwy and at Ganolfan/Siop Y Pentref, Llanfrothen.
“As well as highlighting the important role the farming community plays in terms of food production, food security, the rural economy and employment, we also raised a fantastic £1459 for the FUW’s charitable causes Alzheimer’s Society Cymru and the Farming Community Network.
“I would like to thank the staff and those who hosted breakfasts for us for their help and of course our members for raising such a great amount of money for charity,” added Huw Jones.
