This week is Farmhouse Breakfast Week 2012, an annual campaign that aims to raise awareness of the importance of starting the day with a healthy balanced breakfast.

Run by HGCA, the cereals and oilseeds division of the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), this is the 13^th year that the event has been run.

Everyone from food producers to retailers and shoppers are being encouraged to get involved with the campaign and eat a healthy brekky!

There is a vast array of products available in the UK for Brits to eat at breakfast time that are full of nourishment and are good for you. Skipping meals may seem like the logical thing to do if you want to lose weight but all you are doing is missing out on valuable vitamins and minerals.

We all know that by eating a meal before we leave for work or school can give us the energy we need to face the day ahead but according to the NHS, there is some evidence to suggest that eating breakfast can help people control their weight. 

The top five healthy breakfasts according to professionals in the industry include;

- Porridge with semi-skimmed milk and dried fruits

- Muesli, fresh fruit and low-fat yoghurt

- Wholegrain breakfast cereal with semi-skimmed milk

- Boiled egg with wholemeal toast and low-fat spread

- Grilled mushrooms and tomatoes on a wholegrain bagel

So when you cook up a healthy breakfast next week, make yourself a piping hot pot of tea and keep it nice and warm with our fabulous tea and kitchen cosies.

We have a plethora of homeware ranges available which are perfect for the themed week including our ‘Farmyard’ collection which consists of everything from apron, tea towels and bags; to cake tins, water bottles and tea cosy etc.
