  • Amy Madsen

    Our multi-generational family of 8 spent the afternoon with Chris and Sara and it was truly a pleasure. Chris was so passionate and knowledgeable — about sourdough and its benefits for gut health. We rolled up our sleeves, made our own loaves, and left feeling like old friends. Highly recommend this unique experience of sourdough making, community and connection.

  • Mary

    What a wonderful and unique afternoon! The space was bright, airy and welcoming, and Chris and Sara were fantastic hosts — knowledgeable and clearly passionate about health, nutrition and sustainable farming. The hands-on bread making was such fun, and the lunch of garden vegetables was delicious. Relaxed, educational and genuinely memorable. Highly recommend!

  • Margaret Mongey

    A unique and homely experience learning how to make sourdough starter and ‘loaf tin’ style sourdough bread. This bespoke offering from Chris and Sarah is a lovely way to learn, relax and enjoy healthy food as a solo guest or with family and friends.

  • Vivienne Bennett

  • Treasa Kenny

    A wonderful day - from meeting Baloo (chocolate lab), coffee, to meeting Chris, Sarah and the other bread makers, to pancakes and sourdough bread making. It was such a welcoming place with lots learnt in a relaxed way. Lunch was utterly delicious. Making our own butter was an extra treat. I would highly recommend the day from both a health and pleasure perspective.

  • Penny Fisher

    Spent a wonderful time with Chris and Sara. Chris is a natural teacher and communicator, very generous with his knowledge and hospitality. I always learn a lot when I spend time at the school. The school room itself has a great ambience, a lovely space in which to relax and learn. By the way he makes a mean sourdough Baguette!

  • Anne McSherry

    The bread baking workshop was really interesting and informative. The mystique surrounding sourdough making was dispelled for me and I'm definitely going to give it a go at home! We had a delicious lunch accompanied by sourdough bread. Also, the surroundings are beautiful!!

  • Aoife Melia

    Myself and 6 others friends spent the day with the wonderful Chris and Sarah baking the most delicious sourdough breads, crackers and even made our own butter. We learnt so much about gut health and the importance of sourcing the correct ingredients. We had the most delicious lunch and got to sample some incredible fresh breads. We came away with a new confidence in bread making, knowledge of the gut microbiome and plenty of great laughs along the way. Highly recommend as a fun day out for all age groups !

  • Joan Kelly

    Really enjoyed the day. Great presentation and format all round from Chris and also great back up from Sarah. Learned lots and it was lovely to sit down around the table and engage while enjoying the fruits of our labour from the day's tasks.  All foods wholesome, tasty and healthy. Great to get written follow up documentation. Would definately recommend this sourdough day class. Got so much more from the day than anticipated.
