Little did I know…
A few months ago, customers started asking about folic acid. To be honest, I didn’t know much either, so I spent every night researching while I bake.
From December 13th 2026, all non-wholemeal flour must be fortified with folic acid. I don’t take sides on the debate — I just want you to know what’s in your bread and why.
Our new ‘Pure Earth’ Loaf stays unfortified: seventy percent stone-ground organic white flour, fifteen percent organic rye, fifteen percent khorasan. Organic grains sourced from around the world, with heritage grains from our own island coming soon.
There’s been a huge demand for information about this lately, so I’m thinking of holding an information evening at a local community centre — with a tasting of the Pure Earth Loaf. If you’d be interested, drop me a message and I’ll gauge the uptake.
Thank you to everyone who’s come in, even those who drove all the way from Belfast. I’m taken aback, so thankful, and excited for what’s ahead.
