Ruth Levene shares her experience of The Sheffield Wheat Experiment. Having already peeked into the world of conventional wheat farming and market driven food systems, years later, Ruth wanted to learn how farmers were using a different kind of wheat to step out of that system. Alongside 200 residents The Experiment set out to grow heritage grains across the gardens and allotments of Sheffield and re-imagine how Sheffield could grow its own wheat.  

Kimberley Bell tells the story of a very special loaf of bread, the culmination of 8 years of research & daily baking practise at Small Food Bakery in Nottingham. Work to try to understand what bread she should be baking, how and why. Where is the power in our current prevailing bread system, how does it needs to change? From the seeds, to the soil, the milling, our bodies, energy, the craft of baking, packaging, teaching, subsidy, story telling & ultimately leading to the need to change our seed laws in the UK, it’s the story of a single loaf, and the story of everything. 

This free public event is co-organised with UK Grain Lab.
