We are a family, owned and operated business.

• Tim started his bakery apprenticeship in 1977.

  • This apprenticeship ran for 4 years.

  • His exam results of 2nd in the state of Victoria, showed his willingness and gift in the bakery trade.

  • After this he took 12 months out of the trade before moving to Hay with his wife and young family.

• On 26th September 1983, the day Australia II won the America's Cup, Tim & Jenny commenced a business partnership (with another couple) and opened a bakery in Hay.

  • There had not been an active bakery in Hay since 1976, when Sunicrust bought out the last bakery in the Town.

• The original bakery building was a ramshackled building that used to be the old local newsagency.

• In 1990, Tim and Jenny bought their partners out of the business and commenced operating it on their own.

  • From this point until today they have gone from strength to strength.

•  1992-1993 they commenced renovations on the old building.

  • These renovations included

    • New floors and walls in both the shop and bakery areas

    • Re-roofing

    • Removal of a house at the back of the shop 

    • Painting and Decorating

    • Extensions to the shop (encompassing where the old house stood)

  • These extensions allowed room to enclose one of the biggest and most efficient preparation and bakery sections in the Riverina.

  • These renovations have been described as arduous and as long as having a baby, as the whole procedure took 9 months.

    • But in this 9 months there were only 3 days that the business was closed, allowing very little disruption to Hay having freshly baked bread daily.

• Tim, Jenny and their children (Carla, Mark and Alannah), have worked the bakery bringing to Hay the opportunity of daily FRESH baked bread, rolls, pastries and cakes.

  • Carla could often been seen helping her mother behind the counter.

  • While it was not unusual to see Mark at 1am helping his father with baking.

  • Alannah has helped where she could, although she was still a little young to help too much.

• In recent years they have employed up to 14 local people to help in the bakery and subsidiary lines servicing the area of Hay, Booligal, Ivanhoe, and surrounding districts.

• Their latest venture has been the reactivation of a cafeteria at one of the largest stations in the Hay District.

  • This facility offers the station employee

    • Hot Meals (eat in or take away)

    • Snack Meals

    • Hot and Cold Drinks

    • and a wide range of other food and drink items
