Visit to local businesses

Yesterday we went on a road trip to visit three different businesses in Herefordshire area. The businesses we saw where the Hope of longtown local shop and post office, white Haywood farm restaurant and wiggly wiggers. All of these companies offered different products and services but the one thing that they all had in common was the fact that they were all rural people using initiative to make a living.

It was enjoyable to hear about the history and to see the set up of each business. We were told about the difficulties each business encountered and the solutions they used to overcomes these. The passion and drive these entrepreneurs was obvious and heart warming to hear.

An enjoyable day and inspiration for anyone who would want to venture into starting a rural business!
