The Slow Food movement is gathering momentum with the groundswell of small businesses in the Industry spreading the word of the benefits of good food both for value and quality.

Rigney's Farmhouse B&B was the location this Sunday for a gathering of like minded people and the general public eager to learn about the possibilities of keeping Pigs, Bees and even a few Short Horn Cattle. There was information on growing your own mushrooms also as well as an exhibition of antique farm machinery and A demonstration by Farriers on making and fitting horse shoes.
