Glamorgan farmers enjoyed a successful breakfast morning, promoting Welsh farmhouse produce and farming matters.

Filling the air with mouth-watering smells, the Glamorgan branch of the FUW joined in the Wales wide FUW campaign, which aimed to raise the profile of Welsh produce and get politicians, key stakeholders and the general public understand the important role the food and drink sector plays in their everyday lives.

The first ever event of its kind was held at Lesser Hall, Cowbridge and was attended by many members, as well as Jane Hutt AM and Andrew RT Davies AM.

FUW Glamorgan County Executive Officer Rachel Saunders said: “We had a really successful breakfast morning and I would like to thank everyone who attended for their support and helping us to showcase why farming matters.

“This was our first ever breakfast event and not only did we enjoy some of the wonderful food our farmers produce, we also raised a total of £425 for BHF Cymru, our President’s charity.”

A special thank you is extended to Ty Tanglwyst Dairy and Brynchwith Farm, as well as J G Plant Ltd, HFS Agriculture Ltd, Riverside Hardware and Engineers Supplies, Arthur John & Co, Riverlea Ltd, Pencoed Tyres and S & T Tyre Services for their sponsorship of the breakfast event.
