The Ceredigion branch of the Farmers’ Union of Wales is joining in the effort to highlight the importance of having a good breakfast by hosting two farmhouse breakfast functions next week.
“Building on the success of last year’s breakfast function at Trefere Fawr, we have this year organised two breakfasts to raise money for the president’s charities T? Gobaith and T? Hafan and to celebrate the fantastic food we produce not only here in Ceredigion but across Wales,” said FUW Ceredigion county executive officer Caryl Wyn-Jones.
FUW members Sian and Gareth Price will open their doors at 9am on Tuesday, January 27, at Tyn Rhyd, Devils Bridge, Aberystwyth to welcome the rural community for a hearty breakfast in their converted barn, which is also a new business venturing out as a wedding venue, conference and team building location and which also functions as holiday accommodation.
The second breakfast is being hosted by FUW members Arwel and Mary Davies of Pantswllt farm, Talgarreg at Talgarreg Memorial Hall on Wednesday, January 28, also starting at 9am.
“This is not only an opportunity to have a quality Welsh breakfast with items donated by local producers and suppliers such as Birchgrove Eggs, Bara Gwalia of Llanybydder, Owain’s the Butcher of Aberaeron, FUW member and local Llannon butcher Ben Evans and Costcutters Aberaeron, but a chance for farmers to come together to debate the forthcoming change to an area based CAP payment system and to talk to FUW staff about the new Basic Payment scheme,” added Miss Wyn-Jones.
“This is about much more than having a hearty breakfast. Through these functions we create opportunities for farmers across the county to debate current Welsh agricultural policy and it gives us a chance as a union to hear their concerns and ensure they are represented.
“We would like to ask those wishing to attend to contact Emma Davies at the Aberaeron FUW office on 01545 571 222 or e-mail
