Women's Grain Circle with Small Food Bakery

When: Sunday 1 March, 10.30am–1pm
Where: Gallery 1 & Bakery
Booking: Free, donations welcome.

Join Kimberley Bell from Small Food Bakery and Rosy Benson from Field Bakery for a gathering for anyone who identifies as a woman working with grain.

This circle discussion will offer space to share perspectives and experiences of working with grain and seed sovereignty - whether you’re a farmer, miller, baker, artist, food activist, bread-lover or a feel connected in any other way to this essential and staple part of our food system.

There will be refreshments to share. Please let us know about any dietary requirements when booking.

Small Food Bakery has been baking and making since 2014. As well as providing good food for their community, they also teach, host and advocate nationally and internationally for food justice. They take a particular interest in Seed sovereignty, working with a strong network of bakers, millers and farmers from all of the UK to build an alternative grain economy, one that will be more resilient, fairer and more delicious than the current industrial status quo.

Field Bakery and Mill on Gothelney Farm was created by baker Rosy Benson, in collaboration with farmer Fred Price. As part of the UK Grain Lab and South West Grain Network approach to reimagine the grain chain and embed diversity in the farm, Fred and Rosy are working together exploring and multiplying varieties of grain that express unique flavour, nutrition and distinctive traits suited to low input farming. Building new and supporting existing population wheats, intercropping and undersowing wherever possible.

Access: The event will take place in Gallery 1. There is level access to the ground-floor Gallery space, Reading Room, bakery and garden from our main entrance on Seely Road.
