Published: Monday 15 October 2012

Issues six to nine of the Real Bread Campaign’s full-colour magazine collected together in one handy PDF.

Each issue is packed with a whole basket of Real Bread goodies, including features about the state of bread in Britain, profiles of and interviews with people who are making a difference and a smattering of recipes and posters.

Previously only available to Campaign members, True Loaf is now available for everyone to read. It would be great if, in return, you would make a donation to help the Campaign continue its work fighting for better bread in Britain, please.

Better still - why not join us? That way you won't have to wait a year to read True Loaf as you’ll receive the magazine through your letterbox (or as a PDF) every three months.
