Local Green Fayre Success
The Pembrokeshire ‘Food in Mind’ project helped Haverfordwest’s 2nd Green Fayre to be a great success – it really showed the advantages of groups working well together. The Green Fayre was organised by Transition Haverfordwest and Haverfordwest Going Plastic Bag Free and the ‘Food in Mind’ project really put the policy of local produce into practice. They served locally grown organic baked potatoes with a range of delicious fillings, which were sourced from within the county as far as possible. ‘Food in Mind’ are developing links with ‘Blue Skies,’ the veggie growing arm of Frame, as well as the award winning local company ‘Pembrokeshire Produce Direct’ which supplies a huge variety of local produce directly to your door – both of these were among the organisations represented at the Green Fayre.
The crowd was entertained by children from Wolfscastle School choir, as well as a fashion show organised by Just Nice, the clothing agency which helps you recycle unwanted outfits.
Adults and children alike made some amazing jewellery using pebbles collected from local beaches and recycled bits of spare jewellery. People got the chance to try out the local cider and real ale, learnt how to knit or crochet and lots of people took the opportunity to sit out in the sunshine eating some of the scrumptious homemade cakes and goats milk ice-cream.
