General information on Yorkshire:
Farmhouse Big Breakfast raises over £1,500!
Yorkshire’s annual fundraising Farmhouse Big Breakfast event held last month between the 24th – 26th January raised a terrific £1,527 for Farm Crisis Network. Thanks go to all those who helped in any way, particularly to hosts John and Mary Pearson, who run award-winning Lovesome Hill Farm B&B, Northallerton, with help from fellow members of Herriot Farm Stay Group. Farm Stay UK is Britain’s biggest network of farm-based accommodation providers.
Other charities which benefitted from the three day event were the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, which raises money for the early detection and treatment of cancer and the Northallerton-based Herriot Hospice Homecare, which serves patients with life limiting illness throughout Hambleton and Richmondshire.
Over the years, Yorkshire Farm Stay members have hosted and raised thousands of pounds for charity through the annual Big Breakfast beano. Once again, hearty Yorkshire farmhouse breakfasts were served up at Lovesome Hill Farm, with all food sourced on the doorstep in support of local suppliers.
Local businesses and food suppliers supported the event through sponsorship and product donations and we are grateful to them. They included Barclays Bank, Darlington, Lloyds TSB Agriculture, Cummins Young Accountants, Thirsk, fellow Farm Stay member Crakehall Water Mill, Stamfrey Farm, Northallerton, Acorn Dairy, Archdeacon Newton, Spring House Farm Shop, Scruton, JM & S Greengrocers, Northallerton, Beavers Butchers, Masham, Yorkshire Dales Meat Co, Patrick Brompton, and Shortridge in Topcliffe.
Well done to all concerned!
