A very early start for us today! We hit the road just after midnight and headed to Wollongong for the Wollongong Bread Show, hoping to bring home a few awards for the little bakery we’re so proud to call home here in Blayney.
With over 60 entrants, we were absolutely blown away to hear Hutchison’s Bakehouse called out 16 times, receiving awards across 13 categories. Then came the biggest surprise of the day… being named Most Successful Bread Exhibitor Overall! To bring that award back to our little country bakery is something we’re incredibly proud of.
Someone commented when we shared the news, “We’ll have to come and try this fancy award-winning bread!” The funny thing is… it’s not fancy bread at all. It’s the same bread that’s on our shelves every morning, baked fresh for our community. The products judged today are the very same ones our customers take home every day.
This recognition belongs to our amazing bakers. While most people are still asleep, they’re already hard at work mixing, shaping and baking to make sure our shelves are full each morning. Their dedication, skill and passion are what made today possible, and we’re so grateful for everything they do.
And finally, thank you to everyone who chooses to support our little bakery. Every loaf, pie, cake and coffee you buy helps make achievements like this possible. We’re incredibly proud to be part of such a wonderful community, and we can’t wait to see you in store tomorrow. 🍞🥯🥐👌
