Farmhouse Breakfst - St Georges Court


L to R Ian Bell - ARC Addington, Andy Woodward - CEO Farm Stay UK, Gary Verity- CEO Welcome to Yorkshire, David Wilkins - Yorks Air Ambulance


This week has been Farmhouse Breakfast Week. A national campaign run by the Home Grown Cereals Authoirty. Last year we held a 3 day charity fundraiser here at Scaife Hall Farm and Lindsey of St Georges Court offered to do the same thing again this year at her home St Georges Court Grantley.
The chosen charities for this year were the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and The ARC Addington Fund. Representatives from both came to help the Farm Stay members serve over 200 breakfasts. The food was all be sourced from Yorkshire producers and they were extremely generous with much of it donated or sold to us at cost.
All in all it was a great way to raise money and awareness for charity, to raise the profile of St Georges Court and Farm Stay properties and support Yorkshire food producers.
At the end of 3 days we all had very sore feet, were very tired but we had lots of laughs and great fun!
