24 Aug 2025 - Wheat harvest for Bara Menyn Bakery - wheat harvesting and scythe course. £80 per person
Would you like to help us bring in the Bara Menyn harvest, and have a masterclass in using scythes & sickles at the same time? We have teamed up for a day of traditional reaping on Adam & Dee’s abundant 25-acre farm Awen Organics . Over the day we will learn how to gather, bind and stook the sheafs of heritage April Bearded wheat that we sowed 16 weeks ago, back in May. A simple lunch of Awen vegetables, Bara Meyn Bread and Caws Teifi cheese will be offered (although you are welcome to bring your own food). Location: Nevern. Times: arrive 9:45am; finish 4pm. Email Jack at baramenynbakery@gmail.com to book your place.
