Britain’s Prince Charles has visited a Kent farm that provides Clarence House with food.
The Prince of Wales arrived at Bank Farm, near Ashford, Kent, yesterday (20.03.07) to meet food producers and egg packers who help supply the food to his home.
The farm’s owners, Douglas and Stephanie Wanstall, said the prince was keen to visit the farm as he wanted to find out where his food and drink comes from.
Stephanie said: ‘We supply Clarence House with fresh produce, anything British that’s in season, and he wanted to come and see where his food comes from. ‘He has always spoken out about people buying local and organic food. He’s got his own company, Duchy Originals, he’s very passionate about it. ‘It’s good for us, our customers and suppliers, they’re due some recognition.’ As well as the farm visit, Charles also took time to present Edwin Boorman, president of the Kent Messenger group, with the Spirit of Kent Award for outstanding contribution to public life in the country. He also presented the Queen’s Commendation for Bravery award to PC David Dummington, an unarmed officer who apprehended an armed burglar.
