Bake you Lawn

Join schools and community groups to ‘Bake your Lawn’!
Grow it, Mill it, Bake it, Eat it, Celebrate it!

Grow 1 square metre of wheat in your garden or community project. Next summer, join us to harvest, mill the wheat into flour, make bread and celebrate together!

Seahaven Academy and Peacehaven Community School students have sown their seeds. Seaford Head students are preparing their soil.

We’re excited to be working with Lewes District Food Partnership and Fermento Bakery, Piltdown.
If you’d like a pack of seeds, please email hello@sharingskills.co.uk
To find out more and follow this project as it progresses, please visit the Bake your lawn page on our website.

Bake your lawn is a project by The Real Bread Campaign and Sustain.
