I started The Old Farmhouse Bakery in 1982. With a young family, good, nutritious, old-fashioned bread was an important part of our diet. For years I had always been able to buy my bread at a traditional bakery in our village, Steventon, Oxfordshire, but when the baker retired, it closed down.
After searching high and low for a supply of "real bread" I decided to take the matter into my own hands and The Old Farmhouse Bakery was born. As the wife of a farmer it was not a million miles from our family roots and seemed a natural extension to the farming business.
