On the 9th of March, a group of fantastic volunteers joined the Edible Campus team at the Forest Garden to build a bread oven. This was part of the ‘Beer, Bread and Honey’ project; the beer, Green Chapel Ale, has been bottled, and the bees are busy working away in their hive, so the oven had been eagerly awaited.<\/p>\n

The first stage was to create a smooth mold out of sand, for the clay mix to be formed on. Hannah and Kristian, two volunteers, created a perfectly smooth dome, while the others used a sheet of tarpaulin to combine the clay and sand, which, while being hard work, generated huge laughs and camaraderie.<\/p>\n
