Welcome to our Bakery Blog, for the full Hen Corner site, see here.
Have you seen that our new book Living the Good Life in the City: A journey to self-sufficiency is now available?
It's arrived!
We now have a huge stash of books here at Hen Corner, ready to sign for customers who order direct from us. Don't forget to leave a note on your order if you want a special message, e.g. Dear Mum, Happy Birthday, etc.
For those who have pre-ordered, we'll be contacting you soon to arrange collection.
Orders throughout the summer...
We have a very exciting schedule over the next couple of months, including taking the chickens to our smallholding stall at the
RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival!
In between the events we are running a variety of courses, managing the bees, extracting honey, collecting eggs, making preserves, etc.
With all this activity, I can't commit to baking every week, so will only have our Prêt à Prendre (ready to pick up) products available to order. This includes eggs, honey, preserves and, of course, our book.
If it's bread that you are after, why not join one of our courses and learn the skills to make fabulous bread yourself? I've gone through all the products on our website and linked to the courses where they are taught!
