Over the past few weeks, people in communities acr Over the past few weeks, people in communities across our Soil to Slice network have been gathering to harvest crops grown in raised beds and on street corners. A new experience for many, this has been an interesting opportunity to come together and learn about the taste and texture of a ripe grain, how to use a sickle, or the best method for constructing a stable stook. In August, we welcomed these groups to @bowhousefife for the chance to meet each other and share ideas about harvest-time activities. After a tour of the Scotland The Bread mill and trial plot, Andrew Whitley showed us how to make Struan - a special loaf often associated with festive community gatherings and enriched with whatever was ripe and seasonally available - and board member Alison spoke about her technique for making a delicious seeded rye loaf. For those interested in making use of the straw as well as the grain, there was a fascinating session by David and Bronwen Wright introducing the craft of coiled basket making. Using wheat stems and other easily foraged materials, the couple are able to make a variety of intricate but incredibly robust items - as David demonstrated by standing on top of one of his bee skeps! Our final activity of the day managed to truly capture the spirit of traditional harvest celebrations, as we sat together to share Andrew’s struan and enjoy beautiful folk tales and songs from storyteller Marie Louise Cochrane about grains, bread and their central role in bringing people together. We hope that this event has inspired and equipped Soil to Slice groups to share these skills with their communities and create their own local harvest traditions! Find out more about Soil to Slice, including how to get involved, on our website. #SoiltoSlice #citizenscience #wheatgrowing #harvest #localgrain #struan #sourdough #storytelling #skep #straw
