Congratulations to Leona and Richard Kane for being the new Economusee Artisan Producers For N Ireland,For their Home Grown and cold pressed Broighter Gold Rapeseed Oil.This is an Internationlly recognised award for Artisan Products ,and well deserved .

This will be a great boost for Broighter Gold Rapeseed Oil and also another attraction for Limavady and the surrounding area,Especially in the run up to the City Of Culture 2013.

They will be working with the Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust, once their workshop is fully developed – which is the heart of the ÉCONOMUSEE. It will offer visitors a unique opportunity to discover the history and methods of growing,
harvesting, pressing and bottling their oil.

The ÉCONOMUSÉE
Northern Europe Project sees the combination of culture, craft and tourism as
local craftspeople open their doors to visitors to watch them at work and learn
about the heritage and traditions of their skills. Norway, Greenland, Iceland,
The Faroe Islands, Sweden, Ireland and Northern Ireland are all partners
involved in the initiative, which was developed in Quebec, Canada The project is funded through the Northern
Periphery Programme and the Northern Ireland Tourism Board.
