A rich tapestry

Supporting local produce.

This weekend the annual city food festival will be featuring everything that's best in the food industry in our county and the adjoining counties.  I enjoyed last year's event which supports local small businesses and look forward to this year's programme.

After my walk on Saturday I rounded off the morning by visiting a family-owned dairy farm.  As well as producing milk, the owners have diversified into ice cream production. It's a popular place as there's a shop with a parlour selling ice cream and other locally-made produce, a garden where children can play safely and a viewing barn where the calves are reared.
