5 schools across the city have used wheat from Standean Farm to grow their own wheat, which they will harvest, mill and turn into bread in September.
You can hear Tim the farmer explain about growing wheat, and answering some of the children’s questions, here
Use the Grow a Loaf – Harvest Helpsheet to find out how to turn your wheat into bread.
To grow wheat in your school, you only need a small space, a raised bed or a few large pots.
If your school would like to try growing their own wheat, we can provide wheat in October for Autumn planting – contact [email protected] with the area of growing space you have available and we’ll deliver the seed soon after!
Thanks to Brighton & Hove Farm School project for supporting this work.
