A truffle farmer who has been unable to sell his £30,000 crop to restaurants because of the pandemic has given some of it away for free.
Mike Collison has a 100 kg harvest sitting in his orchard in Stapleton, Shropshire, which he is struggling to sell.
Grateful villagers have been enjoying the truffles instead. Mr Collison said “ We thought we should give some pieces to people who can’t usually afford it. They have loved it.”
