Chance to go behind the scenes at the The Fold in Bransford A POPULAR organic farm is inviting visitors to step behind the scenes as part of a national day connecting the public to food growing.

87% of supermarket loaves aren't Real Bread.

Research by The Food App reveals that a mere 13% of around 600 UK supermarket products marketed as ‘bread’ contain one or more additives, so fall short of the Real Bread Campaign’s basic definition.

Real Bread Campaign coordinator Chris Young said: ‘I think that many people have at least a suspicion that the vast majority of loaves and so on sold by supermarkets are not Real Bread, as we've been highlighting for almost 18 years. These figures throw that fact into sharp relief.’ He went on to say: ‘People who want additive-free bread are better off seeking out a local, Real Bread bakery, or making their own.’

Young added that the Campaign’s ongoing mission to ensure more people have chances to choose Real Bread includes working on a response to the Government’s current School Food Standards review consultation.

A brilliant read from David Wright … thank you so much for our copy! This incredible food has truly shaped much of our human history!

Here’s to Real Bread!

Karen from has been championing our flour since we launched.

We are trialling an 80% whole meal .. some great feedback from her below! Thankyou Karen! 🍞🌾

‘This is really lovely flour. The flavour of the loaf is mildly sweet with a malty flavour…. the colour and taste is very good. It was more like a 50:50 and whilst I was really hoping for a whiter outcome the colour and taste is very good.

The dough is great to work with - a little sticky but I did hydration at the higher end - 72%. Could have done less but I like it as is.

My taste testers really liked it too. They especially liked they are getting the additional nutritional value without the heaviness of a 100% wholewheat. As far as I’m concerned it’s a win!’

Spring wheat getting its feet in the ground and enjoying this bit of rain!

Winter rye now well in ear and looking fabulous in this evenings sun 🙏
