Our Food, Farming & The Countryside Seminar

Grateful thanks to Neil Parish MP, John Sheaves ‘Taste of the West’ and Andrew Butler from NFU for joining us at our seminar at Kentisbeare village hall on Saturday, greatly enjoyed by over 100 people.  And to our own energy expert, Dr Phillip Bratby, who explained on farm anaerobic digestion. Lots of lively debate, a chance to offer our new jute shopping bags and car window stickers and to use our new branded table coverings!  It was a good day!   Thanks to everybody who  joined us.
