The venue was Pimento Coffee Shop which was packed to the rafters on Tuesday, April 16 to hear local experts discuss the health benefits of eating fresh produce and taste dishes served up during the cookery demonstration.

A representative of local butcher’s, Hannan Meats Ltd, discussed the difference in quality between shop bought and locally butchered meat, while Diane Gardiner gave a cookery demonstration showing how easy it is to use local food produce to make simple and easy meals for the family.
