A great taste that's easy on the purse

A tasty new product that's easy on your purse – that has to be good news in today's climate! Midfield Granola's new Honey Flakes, in both Original and Wheat-free options, are a great natural product - simply hand baked in honey and cold pressed rapeseed oil.

"When we trialled these flakes, lots of people liked them just on their own, while others told us how they'd used them as a base to build their own breakfast cereals adding nuts, seeds and fruit," says Sharon Davies.

Retailing at around £2.90 for a 500g pack, they offer great value for money too.

Thank you for helping us raise almost £500 for the South West Children's Hospice!

The people of Moretonhampstead were treated to a delicious breakfast when Midfields Granola took over the community hall as part of a national breakfast event, raising almost £500 for the Children's Hospice South West.

The event was part of the Farmhouse Breakfast Week, a national campaign run annually since 2000. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of the benefits of eating a healthy breakfast and demonstrate the variety on offer.

People enjoyed three-courses, tucking in first to a healthy bowl of Midfields honeyed wheat flakes with stewed apple and natural yoghurt, followed by local sausages, eggs and bacon and finished off with toast and locally-made marmalade.

Adults were asked for a minimum donation of £5 towards their feast. In total, the event raised £487.96 for Children's Hospice South West.

It's gold – not once, not twice, but three times!

He also has three shops in Padstow - a deli, patisserie and gift shop, and has now opened a deli in Falmouth, all stocking lots of great local handmade foods and gifts including our Granola!
