Article on Fayre in Lost magazine

Great article about the Fayre in Lost magazine - thanks guys.  Pick up a copy around town or read it here.

Changes afoot*

This year's fayre looks like being quite different to previous fayres.  Some of our producers will not be on show as the past year has been pretty mucky growing-wise and as a result their stocks are low or non-existent.  So there won't be any delicious Henry of Harcourt Cider.

But there's good news - this year the goat girls at Sutton Grange Organic Farm are producing lots of winter milk. The real goaty-girls, not Carla and Ann-Marie!  C and A-M launched their Holy Goat Cheeses at the Glenlyon Fine Food and Wine Fayre in 2003 - and this year they are back.  That's wonderful news for fayre-goers.

And the * in the title?  Sort of a pun - the fayre co-ordinator recently fell and broke both feet (legs).

Fayre fare

This year's producers are a varied lot and include growers and makers new to the Fayre.

New cakes, biscuits, preserves, saffron, truffles and twisty potatoes (warm and delicious) join those you've come to enjoy in previous years.

We're back on air - getting ready for this year's Fayre

Organising for the 15th Glenlyon Fine Food and Wine Fayre is in swing and already we have over 20 producers lined up.

This year's Fayre will be held Sunday 28 July at the Glenlyon Shire Hall.

There's been quite a change to the line up of producers - some have closed their businesses, some have expanded, some are on winter hols and some are new.

What a day!

The weather gods were benevolent (not a lot of rain), the stalls provided a wonderful selection of produce to eat and drink, Council health and safety officers happy, the police not so happy, punters obviously happy, and the volunteers exhausted.

The Fayre today was a wonderful event.
