About Tawonga Baker

 

Tawonga Baker is a small family-run micro-bakery located in the beautiful upper Kiewa Valley. We make organic sourdough bread, coffee,  pastries, toasties etc. 

When our family moved to Tawonga in 2017, we found the closest bakery regularly making fresh crusty sourdough bread was 30km or more away. So we started making it ourselves. Growing from what was initially a solution to a minor shopping problem, we now make and sell a small production run of bread three days a week. We also make croissants and pastries, and other sweet treats, simply because we think they are delicious!

We believe the best food is food made fresh with simple seasonal ingredients. We also want to be as sustainable and ethical as we can. We use organic flour that is grown and milled in Australia and try to find local suppliers for as many of our other ingredients. We also use food grown on our own property - Mount Emu Farm.

Since moving from the city we haven’t looked back. We now produce all of the fruit used on our danishes. Our free-ranging chickens keep the crickets at bay, dig up all of vege seedling, but also give us heaps of fresh eggs for the family and the bakery.

Lastly, a big shout out to our family, friends and neighbours for testing recipes and providing unwavering support and encouragement! We couldn’t have done it without you.
