Tortoise on Telly - 12th May Saturday Cookbook

Saturday Cookbook ITV1 8:30am featuring our 44 hour Walnut Sourdough. 

Our first celebrity fan

Big thanks to Pam Ferris for her kind email recently. She buys our bread from a fantastic shop called Canterbury Wholefoods in Kent. Her favourites are our White Sourdough and our Walnut Sourdough, which she described as "miraculous". We all need a gold star or pat on the back now and again. Perfick.

Tortoise Bakery bread now available from Riverford Organic

Riverford are pioneers in both the production of organic food, and through their box scheme, providing an alternative shopping experience to supermarkets.

Despite huge growth they are still keeping it real and support small, specialist independent producers.

From February 27th, we're chuffed to be part of their success story as they have chosen Tortoise Bakery to be their sole supplier of artisan bread in South Wales.

The slow rise of Tortoise Bakery continues...
