Frequently Asked Questions

  • All our baked goods use traditional sourdough fermentation and research suggests that this makes it easier to digest, enhances flavour, and unlocks nutrients.

  • A Community Interest Company with a CLG structure is a special type of not-for-profit business. We don't have shareholders taking profits and do not pay out dividends . Instead, our surplus is reinvested into our social mission.

  • Your purchase directly funds community programs. The more we sell, the more events and activities we can offer to bring neighbours together and strengthen our local community. Eventually, we hope to open a space where we will be able to run everything under one roof!

  • We try to get it pretty damn close for the most part! However, all our products are handcrafted in small batches, in a home kitchen with a small team of 3! So while we would love them to look like the pictures, or even exactly identical to each other, we are not robots, so items may vary slightly. Each one is made with the same care, quality, love and most importantly LOVE!
