Future Project - Community Bread Oven

BreadHaus is planning on building a woodfired community bread oven with members of the community. This oven would be available at certain times to the community to bring their bread doughs, pizza doughs and other goods to-be baked while at the same time providing a space for community engagement.

Future Project - Bake your Lawn (from seed to sandwich)

Another future project will be a UK based program called "Bake Your Lawn (from seed to sandwich)" in collaboration with local grain farmers to lead local students through the process of planting, growing, harvesting, milling and eventually baking a loaf of bread from the flour of their harvest. This will help students have a better understanding of where their food comes from, especially bread, one of the main staples in the western diet.
