As the Real Bread Campaign champions all-natural local loaves, It's no coincidence that Real Bread Maker Week coincides with National Mills Weekend.
Whether you're baking at home for yourself, or baking Real Bread for other people in your local community, there are many benefits to seeking out a local traditional flour mill. These include:
National Mills Weekend is run by the Mills Section of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. Many of the mills that are open to visitors are members of the Traditional Cornmillers Guild, and will be running activities to help you get the best out of making Real Bread with traditionally-milled stoneground flour.
