NFU at the Yorkshire Show

STC gives considerable support to NFU Stand. We grow specialized produce for the stand and help co-ordinate, in particular Mike Bradbrook our engineer helps to construct the stand and the special display equipment used on it. One of the main excitements was the ‘Purple Peppers’( Variety – Tequila) which we grew for our schools as a novelty but they were, in the usual way, caught on to by the press so we have had lots of enquiries – a 24 hour wonder.
