A warm welcome and mouth-watering smells greeted those who joined the Ceredigion branch of the Farmers’ Union of Wales at breakfast functions, which were organised as part of the FUW’s Farmhouse breakfast week campaign.

The events were held at Emlyn Caffi, Tanygroes; Felinfach Memorial Hall; and at Penrhyncoch Hall.

“It was about showcasing the most important meal of the day in a bid to raise awareness of the health and nutritional benefits of breakfast and the huge variety of top quality farm produce available in Wales – ranging from bacon, sausages and eggs to speciality dairy products, breads and cereals,” said FUW Ceredigion CEO Emma Davies.

"We loved having everyone there and I thank all those who supported us this year either by cooking, sponsoring produce or helping us raise money for our worthy charities."

The breakfasts raised a fantastic amount of money for the FUW president’s charity appeal - £1,000 - with all the proceeds being split between Alzheimer’s Society Cymru and Farming Community Network.

“It was great to have members and friends of the union coming together, being a part of what we do, and sharing their thoughts and worries about the state of the industry, telling us their stories and helping us to understand how we can help each other.

“What better way to do that than round a table where we share great food and have a cup of tea. I’m already looking forward to next year’s breakfast events,” added Ms Davies.
