From our hearth to yours
Our Story
My name is Ubert de Vries, a young baker from Kroonstad in the heart of the Free State. What began as a simple kitchen adventure with my mom Barbara in Grade 8 has grown into a true passion that fills our home with the aroma of fresh sourdough every morning.
A passion discovered early
I discovered my love for baking while experimenting alongside my mother.
Slow. Traditional. Real.
At 15, I craft small-batch artisanal sourdough using a 24-hour fermentation and a starter I feed daily.
Quality in every loaf
Classic loaves, seeded, rye and ciabatta — plus homemade marmalades, preservative-free and full of flavour.
A family behind every loaf
My parents Abrie and Barbara, and my younger brother Regardt, are my biggest supporters.
Local & loved
We supply Sinkstoor coffee shop and customers across the area who appreciate real, slow-made food.
“This is more than baking for me — it’s about preserving the joy of honest, handcrafted bread in a fast world. I’m proud to bring a little piece of Kroonstad’s warmth to your table.”
