I’m very much looking forward to this but would be more so if there were more local producers taking part – which I thought was kind of the point. I’ve spoken to a couple of producers who have attended in the past who’ve said they won’t be this year due to the expense.
Looking through the list of loacl producers and outlets listed on localfoodfirst.com I can only only see 3 who are listed as exhibiting next weekend.
To rub salt in to the wound, the Welsh goverment have donated a rather pityful £7,500 to ‘help raise awareness of the high quality of food and drink on offer in Wales’.
