The Farmers’ Union of Wales is once again preparing for one of its key events – the annual fundraising Farmhouse Breakfast week, which will run from Monday to Sunday, January 18-24.
Under normal circumstances the FUW would be looking forward to sitting around kitchen tables with friends, family and neighbours up and down the country. Of course, given the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, the usual way of running this campaign is sadly not an option.
FUW president Glyn Roberts said: “However, the ethos of sitting around the kitchen table to enjoy the wonderful produce our farmers produce from eggs, cheese, bacon, sausages to butters and yoghurts etc, is still very much do-able at home with our closest family.”
The union is therefore encouraging the public to get involved with breakfast week by purchasing locally sourced breakfast ingredients, and sharing photos and videos of themselves with their breakfast through social media, using the hashtag #breakfastweek2021.
“We have joined forces with butchers, farm shops, cafes and other Welsh food retailers across Wales to help spread the word about the fantastic produce that is available right on our doorstep.We hope many of you will support this campaign and take time out to enjoy the wonderful, sustainably grown, breakfast food we have on offer here in Wales.”
The campaign is further hoping to raise vital funds for the DPJ Foundation by asking consumers to make a small donation alongside their breakfast produce purchase. If you want to make a direct donation, you can do so at justgiving.com/fundraising/fuw-breakfast-week
