Local produce to provide backdrop of town’s weekend food festival

Consumers will get to taste the produce of some of West Cork’s leading food producers at the Macroom Food Festival, which kicks off today and continues until Monday.

Organisers say that months of preparation by local businesspeople, coupled with the skills of an energetic voluntary committee, have resulted in a line-up that will deliver heaps of tempting food and fun for serious foodies and families alike.

In addition to the expected food stalls, tasting stands and picnic gatherings, festival-goers will be treated to informative mini-seminars and demonstrations.
