Cottage Baking With Local Grains (Fairfax)

Join us for a hands-on baking workshop with local grains and sourdough at Brot Bakehouse School and Kitchen in Fairfax.

Learn all about the beauty (and challenges) of natural bread making with local grains. We will talk about the principles of natural fermentation in bread making and discuss topics ranging from allergy-friendly baking to selling and marketing your breads locally. Then, get your hands into the (sour-)dough to make a natural leavened flatbread. The workshop ends with a bake-off and a sensory tasting of different breads made with locally grown wheat, rye, and corn. This workshop is perfect for anyone who would like to start baking and sell directly to customers, supplement your CSA, bake for a farmers market, open up a small cottage bakery, as well as home bakers.

Members are our heart. Join us: learn more!
