Our Daily Bread

The wheaty bit…
Down on award-winning Abbey Home Farm near Cirencester, we meet Farm Manager John Newman. Abbey Home Farm grow a lot more than wheat, so we’ll also see their sheep, cows, pigs, veg and other organic crops. We’ll also get the chance to mill some wheat – half a cup each to take home. You’ll be treated to a proper Abbey Home Farm lunch of soup and bread, made from produce grown on site.

The doughy bit…
The afternoon is spent at with our good friends at Hobbs House Bakery in Chipping Sodbury. The Godfather of bread, none other than Trevor Herbert, leads us round his enterprise. Trevor is the fourth generation of his family to bake, and has handed the mantel over to his sons, AKA the Fabulous Baker Brothers. As well as a tour, there will be bread tasting, afternoon tea in the cookery school and a chance to buy cakes and bread from their beautiful bakery shop on the High Street.

You can carry goodies home in bags kindly donated by Triodos Bank.
