Real Bread for Everyone!

We are a non-profit-distributing company based in Lamancha in the Scottish Borders. Our mission is to serve and involve the community by making excellent, nutritious bread using organic ingredients and distinctive local products, helping to create a more sustainable and health-enhancing food system.

Our bread is simply made with natural ingredients. It does not use any processing aids, artificial additives, flour 'improvers', preservatives or artificial anything! All we need is flour, water, yeast and salt. We add only natural things like seeds, nuts, cheese, dried fruit, olives and olive oil and butter. The salt content of our breads is less than 1% and we use stone ground wholemeal flour. Our signature Border Country breads also contain a proportion of locally-grown and milled Scottish flour. And, by using organic ingredients, our bread is higher in nutritional value and lower in potentially harmful petrochemical residues.

We are a Community Interest Company

Breadshare bakery was established at Whitmuir Farm in Lamancha and commenced baking in January 2012. We now have 6 part-time bakers and many volunteers who support us through baking and at markets. As a social enterprise, Breadshare is committed to increasing the accessibility of better bread to the community, local food systems and reducing our carbon footprint.

Come and join us, taste our breads and tell us what you think. Join our mailing list, ask us questions, find out more.

Give us your support

Tell us what you'd like to buy, whether you'd be willing to pay a regular subscription and what you'd like the Breadshare bakery to do for you. If you have a business, let's talk about new ways of working together. Become a volunteer baker, a "bread basket" for your neighbourhood, a grain-chain demonstrator . . . or offer your other talents.

Buy our bread or become a breadbasket to help distribute real bread into the community

Help us to raise more dough

Our bakery needs continued financial support from the community, so 'throw us a loaf loan' and earn interest in real bread.

We need all the support we can get, so if you have bright ideas please contact us.
