The Bread Reveal Is Here…
So you’ve had your eyes peeled, ears to the ground and buns poised in
anticipation for our new bread supplier reveal… and here it is. We are
extremely excited to welcome Vicky’s Bread to The Arc Foodstore!
This little but brilliant Cornish bakery started in May 2006 when Vicky
Harford learnt her trade by undertaking a rather intensive artisan bread
course at the French Culinary Institute in New York, run by German tutor
- Hans Welker.
Alongside her partner - Hairy Harford - they set up a bakery in a small
industrial unit in Helston, which is the same estate they are still baking
away in today, although these days they are in a somewhat larger
building. It is from this bakery that they make bread for over 100 outlets
across Cornwall and Devon. That’s a team of 30 people making 1-2
thousand loaves a day!
Vicky’s Bread are passionate about supporting independent shops, they
even run a shop in their own village because nobody else would. So
they know what it’s like running a very small store and competing with
large supermarkets. They understand that high-quality producers are
one of the keys to success and the future sustainability of these hubs of
the community. And so, they are really proud to be one of those
producers.
If you’re a fan of beautiful French artisan bread, you’re sure to fall in love
with Vicky's Bread much like the rest of us. And did we mention she is
also a fantastic illustrator? The brand is full of Vicky’s hand-drawn
doodles and beautiful flowers.
Pop into The Arc Foodstore, grab some bread and enjoy!
