Our mission is simple...

We’re bringing the ancient tradition of sourdough back where it belongs — into everyday life

MADE IN MELBOURNE

It all began when Anh, a self taught sourdough baker (follow her on Instagram) moved to the quiet seaside village of Mount Martha & was desperate for the type of artisan sourdough she was so fortunate to have while living in inner city Melbourne. At the time there wasn’t anything close, only supermarket white slice bread.

Anh realise she need not rely on driving back & forth to her favourite bakery in the city to enjoy artisan sourdough & could learn to make her own. 

Realising the joy & satisfaction that homemade bread brought to her life, Anh shared her hobby by baking loaves for family, friends, & neighbours! It was the perfect opportunity to practise & perfect the art of bread making at home. 

Today, Anh shares her knowledge & empowers other home bakers to reconnect with the simple pleasure of bread, turning what began as a personal quest into a meaningful mission to enrich the lives of others through Sourdough Mate.

 

SUSTAINABILITY

 

We are conscious of the many millions of tonnes of rubbish being added to landfill each year & so we are committed to helping reduce the number of packaging waste that our store produces.  

Up-cycled Mailing Boxes

We also (where we can) reuse any shipping boxes to give them a second/third life, ensuring that we minimise waste and extend the use of each box’s life cycle. So if you receive a box from us that doesn’t look like ours, it’s most likely a box that has been up-cycled but carefully packed on the inside by our team (most likely Anh’s Dad pictured below).

Home-compostable Mailing Bags

We are aware of the number of plastic bags Australians use every year (more 5 Billion in fact) so we have made sure our mailing bags do not add to this statistic. We have used kraft paper & minimise plastic where possible. 

 

All our mailing bags are 100% home-compostable, and can be composted both at home and commercially.
