Silva Kitchen and Bakery is based at Wakelyns in Suffolk, amongst the trees, crops, and wildlife of one of the UK’s pioneering agroforestries. Together, Lindsay and Nicola connect the field and the table through careful craft, community engagement, and a belief that diversity, in grain, ecosystem, and people, makes life richer and food more meaningful.

PRE-ORDER

TUCK IN
Our country sourdough loaves are made using a mix of wholegrain and sifted ‘white’ stoneground wheat flour. We only use UK organic grains with a focus on YQ wheat plus other locally grown wheat varieties. We use this dough for a number of styles incl

We bake slow-fermented, wood-fired bread and pastries using stoneground wholegrains from Wakelyns and local farms. We preserve the fruit and vegetable gluts from the tree alleys as jams, chutneys, ferments, and pickles. Our lunches and suppers use seasonal ingredients from Wakelyns, our fellow Wakelyns Enterprises, and local producers who share our values, with a focus on vegetables and plant-based cooking.
