I am a nutty wood oven baker stuck in the middle of nowhere in Scotland. I make sourdoughs and other breads, but cannot find a source of Organic yeast – Any chance that you can help?
I will be running some small (and very informal) wood oven baking courses next year and it would be nice to be able to show that `quicker` 100% organic breads can be made without having to use manufactured yeast
Best wishes,

Hi Charles,
Your life sounds wonderful! Your craft is so old and rich. Great idea about the courses – hit me back when you have details.
Okay, yeast. There’s no such thing as organic yeast. It’s uncertifiable as organic because it’s a micro-organism.
All there is to choose from are the different kinds of easy-blend and fast-bake sorts of dried yeast preparations, and old-fashioned squidgy cubes of fresh yeast that needs to be stored in the fridge. But none of them can bear an organic logo.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes
Ysanne
