Food as the Bearer of Culture
The Bread Festival takes place during the mid-summer wheat harvest where they will draw on traditions spanning the Caucasus Mountains, Celtic, and Ancient Israel – to tell our stories and celebrate our diverse food traditions. The program culminates with a seed exchange to continue the momentum of biodiversity into the future.
Workshops integrate three themes:
1. Restoring ancient and heritage grain biodiversity on the verge of extinction,
2. Baking sourdough artisan breads in wood-fired ovens using landrace grains,
3. Celebrating the culture, cuisine and arts from ancestral homelands of ancient grains,
