Bake with the Best.
The Farmers Mill Great NZ Bread Bake Off - ENTRIES CLOSE 8TH OCTOBER 2019

The Farmers Mill great New Zealand bread Bake Off recognises the importance of breads and baking in New Zealand daily cuisine and looks to reward bakers for their passion, creativity and skill via our annual bread baking competition. Since 2013 Farmers Mill have operated New Zealands' only grower owned and operated flour mill in Washdyke, South Canterbury. Our people are passionate about the wheat they grow and mill and love seeing the breads that bakers craft from their 100% NZ grown and milled wheat flours. 

This year to make things easier for our valued bakers and bakeries throughout New Zealand we are only running the STATIC portion of the competition (no live bake-off this year) - so all you need to do is create, bake and courier your best bread(s) to Christchurch for Judging before competition closing time 10:00am on Thursday 10 October (we recomend to courier so your bread arrives the day prior to judging).

Farmers Mill invite the Best Bakers in New Zealand to Bake their best and bring it to the table for judging!  Entry details below.
