Welsh Counties Named Best for Quality Food

A report commissioned by UK TV Food has named Ceredigion as the top place for quality food in the UK, with Powys second and Monmouthshire fifth. The judging panel, which included TV Chef Gary Rhodes, evaluated every region in the UK to find out who made the best use of their local ingredients. Ceredigion’s high proportion of farms (34 for every 1,000 people), food markets, breweries, restaurants and numerous summer food festival gave it the top marks. The Local Food Hero for Wales was named as Jean Kane who runs an organic café, Organic Zone, in Cardiff.
