This year’s York Food and Drink Festival is set to introduce visitors to Yorkshire’s
finest food heroes.
Informal daily tastings, Yorkshire food stands, the Yorkshire food market place and
demonstrations by Yorkshire producers will include:
• A comparative tasting by Tom Wallis of Lowna dairy of his award winning Goat’s
Cheese.
• Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil discussing the production, health and gastronomic benefits
of their oils
• A series of producers from the southern Dales, led by Robert Phillip of HellifielBeef will take a stand at the festival. Robert’s Highland cattle play an important role in maintaining the flora of Yorkshire’s limestone landscape.
This year’s festival market place will see key Yorkshire attendees including Penny
Hodgeson, producer of Thornhill Dexter Beef, Whitby Seafood and Richard Elmhurst of
Round Green Venison. Yorkshire’s smaller producers are not forgotten with Brunswick
Organic Nursery, which provides a workplace for adults with learning difficulties,
and Yorkshire Wold’s Apples making an appearance.
York’s regular Farmers Market will take place within the festival on Friday 24
September.
Demonstrations from Yorkshire producers include Phillip Leverington of Fresh
Catering who will work with producers at the festival and James Wright of Taste
Tradition who will do a butchery demonstration of rare breed meat raised in the North Yorkshire Moors.
