RedBeard Historic Bakery is located in picturesque Trentham, between Woodend and Daylesford, 70 minutes from Melbourne.
RedBeard won the 2011 National Baking Industry Association's Baking Seal of Excellence as well as the NBIA Environmental Award.
In 2005, brothers Alan and John Reid found treasure in Trentham: a working 19th century Scotch baker's oven, with room for a café. RedBeard has become a magnet for lovers of organic bread, contemporary cafe food, excellent coffee, local wines and beers, and heritage.
RedBeard has been seen on TV in Everyday Gourmet, Mercurio's Menu,Coxy's Big Break, Postcards and Wine Me Dine Me; as well as featuring in The Age Epicure, The Herald Sun, The Herald Weekly Times, Country Style, Delicious, and Earth Garden; and in the 2009 Business Victoria Regional Heroes photographic exhibition.
Products
Few bakeries in Australia create handmade, certified organic sourdough bread and pastries. Even fewer use a huge 19th century wood-fired Scotch oven. RedBeard's simple doughs of certified organic flours, salt and water are hand shaped using traditional techniques, and transformed by the alchemy of natural fermentation and wood fired baking into a range of loaves of outstanding colour, texture and flavour. They also bake beautiful certified organic biscuits and toasted muesli.
Café
Open daily, including most public holidays from 8am to 5pm. With its laid-back retro style, warm interior for winter and shady courtyard for summer, RedBeard's café is a year-round destination. RedBeard is fully licensed and uses local organic ingredients in season. The menu includes fair trade coffee, hot breakfasts, cakes, biscuits, pastries, pies, sausage rolls, soups, focaccias and antipasto.
