A.P Bakery, situated in our vibrant Marrickville neighbourhood, is at the forefront of sustainable and artisanal baking practices. This bakery sets itself apart through its commitment to directly engaging with farmers to secure sustainably grown wheat. Their selection includes heritage flour purchased from Wholegrain Milling and other wholewheat varieties that are milled in-house, using grains sourced directly from Woodstock Flour and through collaborations with Voyager Malts. The latter plays a pivotal role in supporting organic farming by storing grain from local farmers in the Riverina area, ensuring the bakery's ingredients are not only of the highest quality but also ethically and environmentally sound.
A.P Bakery is also innovating in agriculture by cultivating its own seed stock, which includes starting with small samples from gene banks and exploring the cultivation of unique corn varieties for future milling. The bakery's ultimate goal is to distribute this carefully developed seed stock to farmers, who will then grow these crops on behalf of the bakery. This initiative not only underlines A.P Bakery's commitment to biodiversity and sustainable agricultural practices but also strengthens the local farming community by supporting crop diversity and resilience.
The bakery's farm-to-loaf approach is encapsulated in their philosophy of "going against the grain." By milling grains on-site, A.P Bakery ensures their flour is exceptionally fresh, which they believe is key to baking a tastier and more nutritious loaf. This process reflects their dedication to quality at every step, from selecting the finest seeds to the final baked goods.
In essence, A.P Bakery's practices result in superior baked goods that are not only delicious but also nutritious, packed with essential vitamins and minerals preserved through their fresh-milling process. This holistic approach to baking—emphasising quality, environmental responsibility, and community collaboration—makes A.P Bakery a true pioneer in the field, offering customers a chance to enjoy products that are good for both people and the planet.
