About us

Companion is an organic wood-fired sourdough bakery based in Oatlands, Tasmania. Central to the bakery's philosophy is the use of organic flour and locally sourced ingredients.

All bread is naturally leavened, shaped by hand and baked using an Alan Scott designed oven. Companion are a member of the Artisan Baker Association. We use the Association's standards designed to make it easier for the customer to identify what is in their bread.

In 2010, Callington Mill will produce Tasmanian grown flour using wind-driven stones. The 18th century Georgian mill is opposite Companion Bakery and we intend to use as much local flour as possible.

Baking Classes are run throughout the year, where bakers and bread enthusiasts are taught the art of sourdough bread and other specialities, including cakes and pastries.
