Seems like a lot of people weren’t too impressed with the festival but I think it depends on how you approached it.
Firstly, it probably helped that I went on Friday, which wasn’t crazy busy.
And secondly, for me, the best bit about it was having some really great conversations with some of the producers. It meant I didn’t get to every single stall (despite spending a whopping 7.5 hours there) but those I talked to I felt I came away understanding and appreciating their products all the more.
Also bought some lovely produce not to mention some very kind gift samples too.
Mmm!
Oh and I didn’t bother with the talk or demos either.

A lovely round up of the festival! I didn’t (thankfully) spend as much as I thought I might, but certainly had fun chatting to producers. And I’ve just had my first cup of jasmine pearls from Solaris Botanicals!

Aha – I finally found someone who went to the same stalls as me!

I loved the guys at Gaby’s Hot Stuff – I bought a bottle of the Loco Chilli Lime

Lovely pics from the festival Helen – when I look at everyone elses photos I realise how many great stalls I managed to miss – mind you I was onto the Jersey oysters although they seemed to be free when I was there?!

Loving the pic of the parmesan – it looks like a chunk of quartz, hewn from a crystal cave! Did you try it?

Sounds like a real blast! Loving the sound of that chilli sauce. You should be doing their PR for them…

I love these posts of yours Helen! I always feel like I am right there with you! That hot sauce sounds amazing, I am into the hot myself and find I get addicted to the chili freak too!

I really enjoyed going on Saturday, and managed to spend a fair bit of money. Favourite things were probably the Connemara Smokehouse smoked salmon. Really beautiful, and light years away from the smoke flavoured pink jelly you get in the supermarkets. On top of homemade soda bread, it was proper yum!
