PRE-ORDER
We use Open Food Network for pre-orders, allowing you to order in advance for collection at any of our events or pop-ups. Open Food Network supports independent growers, bakers, makers, and small-scale food systems by connecting communities directly with local producers. Using the platform helps us reduce waste, prepare more thoughtfully around seasonal ingredients, and support a more transparent and community-led approach to food.
Products are also available at The Wakelyns Carport. During the summer season (May to September) The Carport is filled with all sorts of delicious produce and wonderful crafts created by the Enterprises at Wakelyns. Silva keeps The Carport filled with bread, granola, pasta sauces, baked beans, stews, plus all of our preserves. During busy event weekends we will stock the fridge with butter, milk, yoghurt, and cheese including plant-based options. An ideal way to stock up for a stay in The Farmhouse or Ley Alley Pods.
A SELECTION OF OUR FAVOURITES
Our signature rye is a flavoursome loaf, made with only organic ingredients and naturally leavened. We use wholegrain stoneground rye flour from East Anglia, grown for us by Flourish Farms in Cambridgeshire and milled by Gilchesters in Hertfordshire. We mix the dough with pumpkin, sunflower, coriander, and caraway seeds and apple mollases made by us using Wakelyns organic apples.
One of the many special things about Agroforesty is that you not only get the crops growing between the tree alleys but also an abundant harvest of fruit and nuts from the trees themselves. Cherries, plums, walnuts, sea buckthorn, medlars, quince, and of course apples and pears. We use these harvests from each season to produce jams, jellies, cordials, and sauces, in the the baked goods we make for our weekly bakery and events at Wakelyns. Organic, small batch and very special. New products will be added to our OFN shop as they become available and are also available for sale in The Carport farmshop at Wakelyns.
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 including our popular tin loaves (great for sandwiches and toast) and our large miche loaves which start at 1.8kg, and are a great way to a feed a crowd or for a party. Special bespoke decorative options are available. Get in touch to find out more. First developed at Wakelyns, YQ wheat is a resilient population wheat that requires no inputs such as pesticides, fungicides or herbicides. So its good for us, the land, and for nature.
"Supporting Silva means supporting a different way of doing things. Better farming, better ingredients, better food. It's an easy choice"
