The Denbigh and Flint branches of the Farmers’ Union of Wales (FUW) hosted three breakfast in January as part of the FUW’s Farmhouse breakfast week, to put the spotlight on the rural economy, which were attended by over 100 people.
The events were held on Friday, January 27, at Neuadd y Pentre, Groes, near Denbigh and Cilcain Village Hall, Flintshire, as well as on Saturday, January 28, at Gwytherin Village Hall.
FUW Denbigh and Flint County Executive Officer Assistant Gwennan Williams said: “A big thank you to everyone who supported our breakfast events, sponsored produce and helped make these events happen.
“This breakfast campaign provided an opportunity to promote the quality premium local produce that farmers grow for us every day of the year and throughout breakfast week the FUW put the spotlight on the importance of our rural economy.
“We can’t stress enough how much farming matters, so it was good to see so many of our members and friends joining in conversation around the breakfast table.”

Vale of Clwyd MP Dr James Davies, who joined the FUW for breakfast, said: “I enjoyed some very tasty local produce at the FUW breakfast held near Denbigh. The farming community is a critical element of my constituency and it is important that the voice of farmers is heard as part of the Brexit negotiations. I look forward to helping ensure that is the case.”
In addition to raising the profile of Welsh farming, the breakfast functions also raised a fantastic £1,345 with more donation yet to be received for BHF Cymru - the FUW President’s charity.
