Nourishing cereals, rustic breads, fruits, fruit juices & smoothies all featured in the presentation but Derwen bangers were the undoubted favourite.

“We organised a taste test,” students explained. Staff, students and customers all gave their opinions. And the verdict?

“Everyone thinks they’re grand,” said Robin Ferguson, a third year student who also works in the College’s Orangery Restaurant.

And what’s not to like? The sausages were created for Derwen by local company Jamie Ward’s Free Range Pork.

Made and packed on the family’s Berghill Farm, Whittington, the sausages contain a blend of pork, from pigs raised traditionally in an outdoor system, and a selection of herbs selected and sourced from the College’s gardens.

Tori Ward came along to help students promote the Derwen sausages. She said “All four of us in the family, work in the business. For us it’s about affordable quality. And today’s modern customer likes to know where their food’s coming from.”

Young’s Farm Shop is situated at the heart of Derwen College campus, Gobowen, and is open to the public, Monday – Friday 8 am – 5 pm; Saturday 8.30am – 4.30 p.m. and Sunday 9 am – 4 pm.

Farmhouse Breakfast Week ran from 20th – 26th January.
