If you get John Reid talking about good bread and local grain economies, be prepared for a hearty, robust conversation. John's vast experience as a baker, oven builder and grain advocate has taken him from his small town outside Melbourne Australia to as far away as Canada, the USA and the UK in his quest to learn and bring that knowledge home.

In this episode, Mark learns about the magic of Scotch ovens, the ethos behind Redbeard and why continued wheat breeding for local ecosystems is so important.
