Just seen this review of our farm shop....... Ron and I are absolutely delighted.

Great coffee, awesome food (our bread was hot out of the oven and was AMAZING) and lovely service. There was pork roasting outside on the charcoal spit which smelt wonderful! This place is going to get busy as it becomes more well known.

EDIT: Just ate the scotch egg I bought there. OH. MY. GOODNESS. Crispy crumb, warm moist sausage meat, soft boiled egg within - epic.

Would you like to have an outdoor pizza oven in your garden ? Would you like to bake tasty pizzas, breads and roasts in your very own cob oven ?

Join Ron and Margaret on their working small-holding set in the heart of the beautiful Anglesey country-side and learn how to build your own oven.

This is a practical, hands-on, full-day workshop. Ron has 40 years' building experience as well as being a qualified chef. He will demonstrate the building process and you will practice building your own oven on the day with the materials we provide.

Bring your gloves and wellies as it will take place outside whatever the weather !!

Our own oven will be lit, and you will be able to enjoy some great artisan food with us !

By the end of the day, you will know what materials you will need to build a cob oven and how to build it.... and what real food tastes like !!

I can only agree with Geoff's comments. I don't think that our business makes bread in the same way as mass producers !!!

A nice little piece in The Guardian where the spokesperson for Warburtons states how they make make mass produced bread uses the same methods one would at home. Three points: 1 - Statements like this don't help when people genuinely think that this is proper bread and bakeries like ours are a gimmicked con (yes people like that actually exist). 2 - I'll bet anyone at Warburtons £10k if their method is the same as mine beyond mixing at home or the bakery. 3 - This comment is rubbish and I'm being polite with that.
