As part of the FUW’s Farmhouse breakfast week, the Brecon & Radnor county office put on a wonderful breakfast at the Union’s Pavilion at the RWAS Showground and as well as raising the profile of Welsh food, also raised £237.50 for Alzheimer’s Society Cymru and The Farming Community Network.
The breakfast provided an opportunity to promote the quality premium local produce that farmers grow every day of the year and put a spotlight on the importance of our rural economy.
FUW Brecon and Radnor CEO Aled Jones said: “ A big thank you to all of you who supported us again this year and helped us raise the profile of Welsh premium food! We were also pleased to welcome Kirsty Williams AM to our breakfast table and much enjoyed discussing many #FarmingMatters with her.
“Over the last year the FUW has been busy highlighting why farming matters – not just in terms of food security but also in terms of our rural economy and our rural communities.
“A host of businesses up and down the country have already been supporting the FUW in bringing that message across to politicians over the past 12 months and through farm visits, round table discussions and meetings, the Union has been making great progress in highlighting why #FarmingMatters.
“Our breakfast here was another link in that campaign and I hope that more people will understand how much farming matters to them every day.”
