Today I was invited (or did i invite myself?) to offer a Cawl workshop for Class 5 at Treffonnen School in Llandrindod Wells. Having already proved a successful format when I had visited Crossgates School, I was much more at ease delivering this session.
The class split into 5 groups each to deal with one vegetable, either carrots, parsnip, swedes, leeks or potato, they then added these to the stew pot, which contained pre boiled shoulder of lamb and we went on to discuss, well a little of everything really. They quizzed me on profits, animal welfare, cookery, abattoirs. It was a really good question and answer session. it just goes to prove that my statement at the beginning of the workshop "I believe that it is your generation who will save British Farming" could be true, i really hope it is with a passion.
They created and ate their Cawl, sampled my fresh Bara Brith- demanded the recipe and looked at some of our pictures fro the website.
I promised I would add this and their pictures to my blog this evening so here we are - good as promised, I can't wait until I am invited back again, or even better till they visit me on our farm and see where their food really comes from.
thanks Class 5 and Mrs Baynham
