Farmers’ Voice Radio

Having a wonderful time telling folks about our Farmers Voice Radio at Otley Coffee Culture with our friends Dark Woods Coffee 📷 Brilliant questions from an extremely engaged and well-informed, coffee-mad public! 📷📷📷

Thank you to every exhibitor who donated to the charity raffle. We raised a sizeable number of £££ for the work of The Proud Trust and Farmers Voice Radio📷. The lucky raffle winner was stoked! 📷

Manchester and the Manchester Coffee Festival we love you! Thank you for an awesome weekend- of excellent coffee, brilliant conversations, fun competitions and generous and open hearts 📷.

Farmers' Voice Radio brings farmers together in community settings to discuss their challenges on the radio. Other local experts contribute their perspectives and knowledge. Together they find practical solutions.

HOW DOES IT WORK? Farmers' Voice Radio enables farming communities to access and share the knowledge they need to succeed.  Radio is the most affordable and accessible media in developing countries: it is trusted, inclusive and has a rapid, wide reach.

Transforming the lives of millions of farmers and rural communities through the power of radio

Lovely to visit the first ever Otley Coffee Festival and see the wide range of coffee and tea producers from Yorkshire.

More @CoffeeOtley Festival exploration - today discussing the tastes from @DarkWoodsCoffee, @NorthStarRoast and others in some of Harrogate's cafés. Lots of interest in what we are doing.
