Our story

A home oven, a bag of flour and a lot of practice

Brood & Butter began in 2019 as one sourdough loaf a week for the neighbours. By 2022 it was two hundred, so we moved into a small bakery in Westdene and kept the Saturday-only rhythm that made it work.

Three bakers

We share the Friday night shift and take turns at the counter on Saturday.

Local grain

Our flour is milled in the eastern Free State.

Leftovers shared

Unclaimed bread goes to a soup kitchen every Saturday afternoon.

Saturday mornings smell better with fresh bread. Order by Thursday.
