The countdown is on to the first ever Fodder Fiesta coming to the Showground’s farm shop café in two weeks’ time.
Fodder, which is run by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, is all set to host a special afternoon and evening on Saturday 17th August, between 4PM and 8PM.
The event will give customers the opportunity to meet the faces behind the food as some of Fodder’s producers and suppliers will be sampling their products. There will also be live music from Simon and Tim, two bars including a beer bar provided by Harrogate Brewing Company and a big barbecue with head chef Mehdi, who will be cooking up butchery specials from Fodder’s Yorkshire suppliers.
Vanessa Pitt, Manager of Fodder said:
“This is our very first Fodder Fiesta and we are excited to open for an afternoon and early evening of great food, drinks and music. We have some of our wonderful suppliers and producers coming along so visitors can meet the faces behind the food we sell too. We look forward to welcoming you!”
