Derrington local food festival photo gallery

On Saturday 11 September local residents and many people from further afield enjoyed a really busy Derrington Local Food Festival. They were able to meet local producers from in and around the village - with potatoes, soft fruits, eggs, honey, plants and much more available - all from a stone's throw away.

The home grown produce table was packed full of fruit and veg from local people - superb giant cabbages, tomatoes, beans and beetroots, jars of honey, potatoes straight from the ground, long leeks and a delicious array of plums, apples and - hot chilly peppers.

Talks from experts took place in the gazebo - we learnt about poultry keeping and gardening in a changing climate. Many visitors enjoyed having a go at willow weaving, sampled tasty Fairtrade products - and enjoyed the ever popular Derrington WIs delicious refreshments!
