Locally Sourced, Sustainable, Organic Ingredients
Nestled within the vibrant Coffs Coast and neighbouring areas reside exceptional farmers and producers. Upholding an "open door" ethos, Hearthfire Bakery provides a stage for producers of diverse scales to showcase their yields. The source of their organically grown grains lies in the fertile expanse of Liverpool Plains, situated between Tamworth and Gunnedah. These grains are skillfully milled by Wholegrain Milling Co (Demeter certified organic).
Sally and Dave's culinary principles align with their dedication to sustainability. "We frequently source ingredients from local markets and growers, reducing the need for extensive transportation. This preserves the authentic flavours of our cuisine and bolsters the local economy."
