Farmers on Film
August 23, 2014
Animals, Awards, Derbyshire, Farm, Films, Food and drink, Peak District,Little did I know that a trip to Taste of the Moorlands bakery (three years ago) to collect delicious oatie biscuits from Sarah Gayton for our holiday guests would have such an amazing impact. I turned up to collect our usual order with my new Flip video in my pocket. I thought it would be a good idea to film Sarah, our local artisan baker, to show our guests where their food came from.

January 10, 2014

The advert will be hitting the screens of Central and Anglia ITV regions fro...
