Real Bread Week is now in its tenth year! The week long campaign begins from Saturday 24th February to the 4th March which encourages people to support local and independent bakeries, instead of opting to buy bread from supermarket chains. The concept of the campaign is based on three values; for people to convert to going local, inspiring people to bake from home and the third, to join the bread campaign. In the fast-moving world we live in, it can be quite difficult to find the time to branch out to local, and with some many corner shops it’s easy to see why people are buying ‘high street’ bread. We think the campaign is a great idea; here are some of the reasons why we’re on board… Jobs for local community Buying local has endless benefits; whether that’s your favourite restaurant, or the local butchers. For bakeries, it’s a chance to produce delicious fresh bread for local neighbourhood and create jobs within the community - and high skilled jobs at that! Sustainable economy By buying from the local supermarket, you’re money will be going to the leading chains and not local shops that are operating. You might find yourself paying a little extra for bread in your local bakery, but in the long run the circulation of money will help towards keeping your high street alive with a steady and sustainable economy. Baking skills Finding the time to bake can be quite difficult, especially if you’re at work all day! But, one of the great things about this is that is encourages you to find that time - and have a go at baking and enjoying the feeling of baking your own fresh bread! If you head to its site here, you’ll be able to find recipes! Anyone can join us to the campaign to for a small amount every year and receive magazines, ingredients and equipment for all to enjoy!
