Shop Cotswolds was delighted to be invited to the inaugural Food Farming and Rural Services Trade Fair organised by the NE Cotswolds Farmers Cluster.
Producers, growers, rural service providers, contractors and advisors came together for a day of networking, promoting and connecting a diverse range of businesses.
Held at the attractive FarmEd venue near Chipping Norton, the ex-president of the National Farmers Union Minette Batters kicked off the event with a thought provoking and enlightening talk on Profitability and Resilience in a Challenging Climate.
With a series of talks throughout the day and plenty of opportunity for networking, the sell out event surely met expectations of starting to enable better connectivity, shorter supply chains and finding new routes to market.
