Farmhouse Breakfast Week takes place annually in the last week of January. This year it’s from January 27 to 31. The initiative promotes the importance of eating breakfast like a champion and reintroducing breakfast into our current hectic lifestyles. Did you know that an alarming 47% of people skip eating breakfast regularly due to their demanding routines? Cultivating this habit of consuming breakfast regularly improves our diet, boosts us for the day, and is essential for overall well-being.
History of Farmhouse Breakfast Week
An initiative by the Home Grown Cereals Authority (H.G.C.A.), Farmhouse Breakfast Week started in 2000 and has been recurring annually in January ever since. The event’s execution is successful every year, gaining more and more media coverage and public attention.
Farmhouse Breakfast Week has two main aims — the first is to represent arable farmers who cultivate and grow crops such as oats, wheat, barley, and more. Not only does this campaign bring these farmers into the spotlight, but the variety of breakfast produce grown around the country is also displayed. Following that, the week-long program promotes the pleasures and advantages of having a proper breakfast. Farmhouse Breakfast Week bridges the gap between the two, resulting in a win-win situation.
All individuals, producers, manufacturers, and retailers are encouraged to participate and get involved. Events are hosted in schools, stores, restaurants, diners, and hotels to promote breakfast and better breakfast eating habits. Activities include cooking competitions, breakfast sessions, and tasting special breakfast menus.
The whole country will kickstart the week with delicious breakfast meals cooked using local produce, and experience for themselves the joys and benefits of a real breakfast.
