Have you tasted Carmarthenshire ham, Carmarthenshire Cheese Company’s Boksburg Gold, Rhosyn bacon, sausages and black pudding? And how about starting your day with such tasty food? The next best chance to enjoy some of the finest Welsh food produce is by attending a breakfast function in Carmarthenshire.
The first breakfast has been arranged at Pontiets Rugby Club on Thursday, January 26. It starts at 8.30am and Emma and Neil Rose of Rhosyn farm are in charge of breakfast, using their own home-made sausages, bacon, black pudding and fresh eggs straight from the farm.
The couple take pride in breeding their own stock, outdoor rearing in the most idyllic surroundings in Carmarthenshire and giving their animals the best quality of care and attention during their time on the farm.
Farming pockets of land covering approximately 100 acres, they use both the Gloucester Old Spots and Herdwicks for clearing the rough ground before returning to pasture, which certainly adds to the taste of the meat that Rhosyn produce. That’s something you will be able to judge and of course enjoy for yourselves if you join the breakfast at Pontiets Rugby Club.
On Friday, January 27, the Pumpkin Patch in Carmarthen takes centre stage at breakfast time. The breakfast here starts at 9am and takes a slightly different approach to the traditional breakfast.
Lisa Fearn from the Pumpkin Patch Cookery School and author of ‘Blas / Taste’ will be hosting a breakfast with a twist. This promises to be an exciting start to the day with Lisa’s continental fusion breakfast made with wonderful Welsh produce.
The two breakfasts have been organised as part of the FUW’s Farmhouse Breakfast Week campaign (January 21 – January 28), which aims to raise the profile of Welsh produce and get politicians, key stakeholders and the general public to appreciate the important role the food and drink sector plays in their everyday lives.

Nerys Edwards, the FUW’s Carmarthen County Executive Officer Assistant in charge of organising the breakfast functions, said: “Those who are joining us will see the vital part farmers play in maintaining our rural communities, in sustaining a viable and profitable agricultural sector and of course producing excellent food.
“But we want you to be a part of what we do too. So join us for breakfast and share your thoughts and worries about the state of the industry, tell us your stories and help us to understand how we can help each other.
“And really there is no better way to to do it than over good food and a cup of tea. Let’s start our day together and enjoy the quality food we have on offer.”
