A celebration of locally grown grains and fresh bread made with historic Red Fife landrace wheat. We take our daily bread for granted. This is a day to slow down and celebrate the cycle of seed at harvest season and to bring together our ‘community’ to celebrate wheat and bread. Activities to include, displays, talks, bread tasting, sales of grains, breads, and crafts.
