Duke of Devonshire on REAL

Despite the dismal wet weather and the acres of muddy field, the Kilnsey show and the Food and Farming for REAL event were a huge success.

The Duke of Devonshire opened the show and was good enough to offer his comments and support once again to the REAL campaign.

Here’s a little of what he had to say… more will follow in the podcast and on the blog.

In one of our visits to Julia Marley at Bendgate, we were given a fine demonstration of cooking a rib roast and were lucky enough to be able to sample it afterwards!

Producers meeting their customers is important

One of the best things about farmer’s markets is that they allow food producers to have important contact with end users of their products.

This is, of course, a two way street and customers have a chance to meet the farmers, growers and cooks who put their knowledge and passion into the products on offer. We called in at the Northern Dales Farmer’s Market today and took the opportunity to interview Alasdair Davy (CEO) and some of the producers. As a sneak preview to our forthcoming podcast series, here’s a quick taste of what we found out.

If you have the time to visit a farmer’s market near you, it’s a great opportunity to find out about the food you eat and how it’s produced.
