FARMHOUSE kitchens were filled with the smell of freshly cooked breakfast produce as members and friends of the Farmers’ Union of Wales once again supported the annual Farmhouse Breakfast Week.

A total of 13 breakfasts, which were held across Meirionnydd, Caernarfon, Denbigh, Flintshire and Ceredigion, raised £6,500 for the FUW’s chosen charity, British Heart Foundation Cymru.

Over 650 friends and members of the FUW indulged in locally sourced breakfast produce ranging from bacon, eggs, sausages, cheese and other dairy products to promote the benefits of eating a healthy and balanced breakfast.

FUW president Glyn Roberts, who hosted a breakfast function at his farm Dylasau Uchaf, Padog, Betws y Coed, said: “The breakfast functions offer fantastic opportunities for us on a var­iety of levels.

“We get to enjoy and promote the great food we produce here in Wales and through that advocate a healthy balanced diet and lifestyle.

“We get to raise money for our charity and we all get to sit around the same table to share what’s on our mind."
