Coop Ventilation for All Seasons

A small kitchen, an old starter and a belief that good bread brings people together. Here's how it all began.

Our beginning

Winter-Proofing Your Backyard Chicken Coop

It started with weekend loaves for friends and neighbours. Word spread faster than we could bake, and before long we'd swapped the kitchen table for a little shopfront on the corner.

Today we're a bakery and coffee house rolled into one — but the heart of it hasn't budged. Same starter, same slow mornings, same welcome.

What we care about

Choosing the Right Nesting Boxes

Brooder Setup Essentials

Locally milled flour, real butter and seasonal fruit. Nothing we can't pronounce.

Feeding Your Flock Right

Long, slow ferments give our bread its flavour. You can't hurry a good loaf.

Egg Collection Tips

A café should feel like someone's kitchen. Come as you are and stay as long as you like.

In the kitchen

Predator-Proof Fencing for Coops

Our day starts at four in the morning, when the ovens go on and the first doughs get shaped. By the time the doors open, the counter's full and the whole street smells like breakfast.

It's early, floury, tiring work — and we wouldn't trade it for anything. There's real joy in handing someone a warm bun and watching their morning get a little better.

  • Coffee from a small local roaster
