Please support Real Bread Week which takes place this week February 18 - February 26
Real Bread Week is the annual celebration of supporting your local, independent Real Bread bakeries and baking your own bread.

The campaign encourages everyone to support their local, independent Real Bread bakery and support a business that helps to create more jobs per loaf at the heart of your local community and to keep your high street alive. There are great local bakeries in York and all over Yorkshire, please support them.

The other aim of the week has always been to encourage everyone to bake their own bread. Holgate Windmill flour makes brilliant bread and our shop is open this morning between 10 and 12
