PAYSAN BOULANGER – DOMINIQUE GRANDJOUAN

Dominique Grandjouan is a passionate farmer-baker, producing sourdough bread and baguettes, pumpkin seed bread, fig and walnut bread, brioche with or without chocolate chips…, available at his farm market and through AMAP. What is a farm baker? – I grow my own ancient wheat using organic methods. – I grind my own wheat, using my own Astrié flour mill. – I bake my bread in the traditional way, using a traditional 3-metre brick oven, heated directly with wood. The bread is made using only sourdough and no yeast is added. Where? Since 2018, I’ve been based in a renovated farmhouse in the Vaucluse countryside. This setting is occasionally used as a backdrop for theatrical events or shows. Training courses and visits are also available by appointment to see all the work involved in making bread, right from the start – because this is a farming activity that begins with growing cereals. A 130m2 laboratory and workspace has been created, which he shares with 2 other bakers he has trained. And don’t forget! Direct farm sales on the Mondalin site in Saint-Viaud: – Wednesday evenings from 5pm to 7.30pm: bread, organic vegetables, etc. Vrac en Retz grocery truck on odd weeks. – Saturday mornings from 10.30am to 12.30pm: bread, organic vegetables… The baguette has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site… but what does our favourite farmer-baker think?
