DEFA to showcase Manx produce at shows

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture says it'll be showing off local produce at the summer's two big shows.

The Isle of Man Creamery along with other producers will be in a DEFA marquee at the Southern Agricultural Show and the Royal Manx Agricultural Show.

DEFA minister Geoffrey Boot says the events attract thousands of visitors, providing an opportunity to show off the range of Manx produce.

And he says there'll also be a chance to talk to DEFA staff about the options available if you're thinking about starting your own food or drink business.
