Big weekend of farmers' markets coming up

Saturday we're at Trentham, Lancefield and Wesley Hill (Castlemaine); Sunday we're at Daylesford and Talbot. Come early to avoid disappointment and beat the Xmas crowds.

Hey sourdough baking workshoppers:

How is your leaven looking/smelling? Is it nice and active in the mornings after you've fed it the night before? Remember to keep a stock of fresh flour so you don't run out of food for it. But don't panic if you miss feeding it on a night here or there. If you're worried about its health, send photos to info@redbeardbakery.com.au or bring it into the Bakery to show John or Al.

Markets this weekend
