Subject: CSA Peasant Bakery in Wales - 2 Day Course (9-10th Oct) and Participatory field trails project (1 year - kick off: 27th Sept)

Grain to Loaf - a two day course (by Torth-y-Tir and Gaia Foundation) - 9th-10th October

This event is for: Bakers (both home and professional), Farmers, Smallholders and anyone interested to learn more about making bread using traditional techniques.

BACKGROUND: We will be welcoming renowned peasant bakers Jean-Marc Albisetti and Nicolas Supiot to guide us through a two day immersion on how to grow the most healthy, ecological, nutritious heritage grain and how to transform those grains into truly artisan breads, baked using natural forces, for the benefit of local communities.

Both Nicolas and Jean-Marc have been baking, growing and milling heritage grains for at least 20 years. Nicolas on his farm in Brittany and Jean-Marc now in Sussex. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience both on the science and craft of their profession.

The event will be hosted by Torth y Tir  and run in partnership with the Gaia Foundation UK and Ireland Seed Sovereignty Programme.
