Why Organic, Simple-Ingredient Bread is Rising in Cornwall (and Why You’ll Taste the Difference)

From Cornwall’s Fields to Your Table: The Rise of Organic Bread

At Baker Tom, bread isn’t just food – it’s a craft, a passion, and a commitment to keeping things simple and honest. Nestled in the heart of Cornwall, our bakeries rise with the sun, using organic flour, water, sea salt, and time to bring traditional loaves to life.

If you're searching for organic bread in Cornwall that not only tastes incredible but is made with integrity, you’ve come to the right place.

What Makes Our Bread Different?

1. Organic, Flour
We source only the finest organic flour, supporting sustainable UK farms and ensuring each loaf is rooted in quality from the very beginning. No chemicals. No shortcuts. Just honest grain, grown and milled with care. We use a variety of flours but our main supplier is Shipton Mill based in 

2. Simple Ingredients – Nothing Else
Our ingredient list reads like it should: flour, water, sea salt, wild yeast. No additives. No preservatives. Just real food that your body (and taste buds) can trust.

3. Slow Fermentation for Real Flavour
At Baker Tom, we let time do the work. Our doughs are slowly fermented for up to 24 hours, developing natural flavour and texture the old-fashioned way – with patience and skill.

 

Why Organic Matters More Than Ever

Choosing organic bread isn’t just about better taste – it’s about a better planet. Organic farming reduces environmental impact, protects soil health, and supports biodiversity. When you choose a loaf from Baker Tom, you’re making a small but meaningful choice for sustainability.
