Our Story

A young baker, a family hearth.

My name is Ubert de Vries, a young baker from Kroonstad in the heart of the Free State. What began as a Grade 8 kitchen adventure with my mom Barbara has grown into a real passion — and our home now fills with the aroma of fresh sourdough every morning.

We bake small batches, by hand, with a starter we feed and nurture daily. Classic loaves, seeded, rye and ciabatta — plus honest, preservative-free marmalades.
