Wheat Field

We took on the challenge set by the real bread campaign to “Bake our own Lawn” http://www.sustainweb.org/realbread/ this involves planting our own wheat, milling it and making bread that we can bake in our clay oven.  We have planted Amaretto wheat provided by St Albans farmer Howard Roberts and the first shoots have begun to appear.

Redbournbury Mill in St Albans (which is a mile from Howard’s farm) has also agreed to mill the wheat for us and let us visit the mill for tea and buns with a guided tour on 07^th June. We will also be visiting the farm that day where we will see the workings of the farm then walk through the fields down to the mill for our tour in the afternoon. Watch this space for the finished results!
