Melton Mowbray Fair Trade Town Does Breakfast

Saturday 12th May was World Fair Trade day, as you were all aware! The Fair Trade Foundation invited us to host a fair trade breakfast, so we took up the challenge.

Fair trade breakfast ... umm .. what can we serve? Fair trade bacon - no! fair trade eggs - no!

Eventually we decided to offer fair trade drinks, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and juice, together with fairly trade museli, lovely flapjacks made with fair trade ingredients and bread with jam, marmalade or honey.

We had a fantastic range of jams and marmalades made in South Africa from fairly traded ingredients by Eswatini Kitchen (http://www.eswatinikitchen.com/ )
This cooperative has developed a huge range of not just Jams and marmalades, but chutneys and other sauces too.

The people who came to enjoy the breakfast (about 25 altogether) discovered some amazing products .. Kumquat marmalade, mango jam and pinapple jam. This was just a small selection of the range.

If you visit Melton and fancy a taste pop into the Fairtrading Post and buy some.
