Wild Yeast

Can't believe its the last week of term this week!!  

After a post I saw on Facebook last week on the Permaculture Canterbury Facebook page about making your own yeast, I thought given that many of us may be able to take a few days out over the next 2 weeks and try something creative at home that would be an appropriate post to end the week on. 

In terms of increasing sustainability, and reducing our footprint on this planet, doing things to reduce our reliance on the global food chain is a step in the right direction.  So the purpose of this post is really to show you that even some of the things you thought you couldn't source locally, you can!

For those wondering what this has to do with veterinary clinics, well why not take a bread maker in to work and have your own culture of yeast in the fridge to make bread from time to time (or bring a loaf in from home to share.   What a nice way to bond with your clinic work mates than share fresh bread for lunch, made with wild yeast, and spread with locally made chutneys and cheeses. 

Have fun and see if you can think of other ways to reduce your reliance on the global food chain. 

I'll going to take a couple of weeks break from this blog and I'll be back in the new term with new tips and ideas to help you start thinking differently!

Kind Regards
Francesca
