A warm welcome and mouth-watering smells greeted those joined the Farmers’ Union of Wales Glamorgan branch for breakfast on Friday, January 26 in Cowbridge.
The breakfast, which was organised as part of the FUW’s Farmhouse breakfast week campaign, raised £250 for the Union’s charitable causes - Alzheimer’s Society Cymru and the Farming Community Network.
The FUW campaign also aimed to raise the profile of Welsh produce and got politicians, key stakeholders and the public to learn about the important role the food and drink sector plays in their everyday lives.
Rachel Saunders, the FUW’s Glamorgan CEO who organised the event, said: “We had a great turn out and lots of support from our members and local politicians Alun Cairns MP and Jane Hutt AM and enjoyed talking to them about #FarmingMatters and Brexit.
“A huge thank you must also go to our admin assistant Christine Anstee and member Rose Jones for being our chefs on the day and also our member Phil Thomas for donating the eggs from Cyw Hapus.
“And as well as raising a great amount of money for charity, we used the opportunity to show decision makers and key stakeholders who joined us at the breakfast table how vital a part farmers play in maintaining our rural communities, in sustaining a viable and profitable agricultural sector and of course producing excellent food.”
