A UNION is looking to begin the day in the correct way early in the New Year.

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day and it is a great opportunity to talk and share your thoughts before starting the day.

In order to promote the health benefits and have a good catch up before the day starts, Farmers’ Union of Wales (FUW) teams across the country are once again hosting a variety of farmhouse breakfasts.

These will take place between Monday, January 20 and Saturday, January 26.

The FUW is also once again taking the farmhouse breakfast to Cardiff on Tuesday, January 21.

FUW president Glyn Roberts said: “We all get really excited about our farmhouse breakfasts every year.

"We can start the day together with family, friends and neighbours, in a positive way and at the same time raise money for our charitable cause, the DPJ Foundation.

“All of us are looking forward to yet another good turnout in January.

"It’s fair to say that a healthy start is not just good for a healthy heart, but also for a healthy mind.”

The FUW’s farmhouse breakfast week also provides an opportunity to promote the quality premium local produce that farmers grow for us every day of the year, and throughout breakfast week the FUW will shine a spotlight on the importance of our rural economy.

“I hope many of you will be able to join us for breakfast," added Mr Roberts.

"We want you to be a part of what we do, and share your thoughts and worries about the state of the industry, tell us your stories and help us to understand how we can help each other, and what better way to do that than around a table where we share great food and have a cup of tea.”

In North Wales, there will be breakfasts at St Asaph, Carrog, Rhosesmor, Bangor, Rowen, Betws-y-Coed, Pwllheli, Bryncir, Clynnogfawr, Llanfrothen and the Anglesey Showground.
