Local Loaves for Lammas
31 July - 1 August

Last year the Real Bread Campaign, funded by Big Lottery Fund’s Local Food scheme, launched Local Loaves for Lammas, which encourages people to celebrate this ancient harvest festival by baking or buying a local loaf.  

The plan is for an even bigger and better event this year

  

Without any definitive recipe for a Lammas loaf or hard and fast rules for ways to make it local, the aim is for companies and other organisations taking part to do so in a way that works best for them.

 

Ideas include:

  • Baking a Local Loaf for Lammas, ideally with flour that has been milled as locally as possible from the most locally grown grain possible.
  • Teaming up with other independent producers to organise a Real Bread picnic for your local community
  • Running a Real Bread making class, perhaps to teach a traditional local recipe
  • Holding a Real Bread baking competition
  • Bagging up limited edition Local Loaf flour, preferably (and harvest permitting) using locally-grown new season grain
