Established in 1995 the Davis family have grown their Artisan Bakery from modest beginnings in the family garage, as the business grew they moved to larger premises in Strawberry Hill outside Newent in 2000, and then again to their current location in Longhope in 2021.
Using traditional methods the bread dough is left to ferment without the use of improvers, with these time-honored methods tastes and textures develop, giving the bread a character unlike that found in the mass produced bread market.
The family are proud to be accredited by The Soil Association and have been a fully organic bakery since they started.
The lack of additives & preservatives in these products mean the shelf life isn’t the same as mass-produced bread and cakes.
Eat or freeze within a few of days of purchase to enjoy the products at their best. There is a 5-7 day best before date depending on product.
