Little Valley Bakehouse

25/08/2026

An important (but exciting) little Valley update 🤎

When we opened our doors just a few short weeks ago, we truly had no idea what was about to happen.
The way you have shown up for this little bakery has been beyond anything we could have imagined. The early morning lines, the kind words, the familiar faces returning each weekend - we are incredibly grateful.

But the truth is, Little Valley has grown beyond our production capacity almost overnight.

Despite prepping and baking around the clock, we simply can’t produce enough in our little space to meet the incredible demand, and selling out so early each day isn’t the experience we want for you - nor is working day and night a sustainable way for our little family-run bakery to continue.

So, we’ve made the decision to close Little Valley for the next three weekends while we make some big changes behind the scenes.

We’ll be expanding our production space, upgrading our equipment and putting together a small team of local hands to help us make more of the things you’ve been asking for.

Little Valley will always be a small, family-owned bakery at heart. Growing doesn’t mean we want to become bigger for the sake of being bigger - it simply means building a sustainable little business that can support our family, create opportunities for local people and, most importantly, keep baking for this beautiful community for many years to come.

This isn’t a step backwards. It’s simply us taking a few short weeks to grow into something we never expected to need quite so soon.

Thank you for giving this little bakery such an extraordinary beginning. We’ll see you very soon.

Baba and Didas will remain open and trading as usual during this time - it’s only Little Valley taking a short pause while we complete our upgrades.

🌾 open every Friday - Sunday 7:30am-1:30pm
The beef brisket pie and chicken pie are back this weekend, and lots of them! Along with a very full bread cabinet might I add 😀

Two weekends in, and we’re completely blown away. We’re currently selling through almost everything by around 11am - which is equal parts incredible and a little overwhelming.

I know it’s disappointing to make a trip out and find bare shelves, and I want you to know we’re working very hard to increase our volumes each week, and, moving forward.. we’re finding a solution.

For now, there’s still just one little baker behind all those pies, pastries and goodies (hi 👋), and I’ve reached the point where these two hands simply can’t make much more without a little help…. I’m working on that.

Thankyou for your patience while Little Valley grows into this very unexpected amount of love. We’ll keep baking more - while making sure to never compromise on what comes out of our ovens.

This weekend we will have x2 the breads and pies as last weekend.. and those brioche donuts and danishes!? .. Lot’s of those too!

From the bottom of my heart.. Thank you 🤎

What an opening weekend. We prepared more than we ever thought we’d need.. and somehow we baked through our entire weekends prep on day one, and still sold out by lunch.
So, after a round-the-clock all-nighter to fill the shelves again for today.. y’all came back and did it again 🥹
Thank you for showing up, for supporting this little dream of mine, and most of all, for the kindness and patience you all showed us while we found our feet and worked through the little teething problems and sold out far earlier than we expected.
I say “we” a lot when I talk about Little Valley, because there is wonderful people helping me bring it all together.. but when it comes to the baking, it really is just little ol’ me, baking as much as these two hands will allow, and hopefully each weekend those shelves will stay full a little longer.
Thank you for letting me bake for you. What a blessing and a privilege that is.

So with a very full heart (and very tired feet), Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Ahh, the humble lamington. 🇦🇺
A quintessential treat in every Aussie bakery. Now, I’ll admit.. it’s never been the first thing I’d line up for either BUT a lamington that’s made by hand? Not perfectly square. A little rough around the edges, generously coated in chocolate and coconut… it just hits different.
So we figured she deserves a spot in Little Valley’s opening day lineup!

Organic, slow fermented Ciabatta rolls earning their spot on Saturday’s opening day menu 🫡

And I say ‘menu’ lightly, because you generally won’t find a menu around here.
Little Valley has never really been about baking to a set menu. Instead, our bakes will often be guided by the seasons, beautiful local ingredients, and whatever feels inspiring when the apron goes on that morning.
After all, that’s how this little bakery began. It’s how I’ve always baked for my own family, and it’s a tradition that continues in the Little Valley kitchen.

And who knows… some of the best ‘bake inspiration’ might just come from you. If there’s something you’d love to see on the bench one day, tell us below 🤎

🌿 EXCITING UPDATE... Opening Date & New Location! 🌿
An exciting new chapter for Little Valley Bakehouse...
Sometimes the path to something special takes an unexpected turn.
While the location many of you were expecting won’t be the home of Little Valley Bakehouse after all, we’re so excited to share that Little Valley has found a new home—and we couldn’t be happier with where this journey has led us.
✨ Now for the exciting part... ✨
We’re opening our doors on Saturday, 8th August!
You’ll find our cosy new home inside Baba And Didas at 2540 West Swan Road, Caversham.
A rustic bakehouse inside a local favourite produce market... we’d call that a perfect ‘pearing’ 🍐

We honestly can’t wait to welcome you in, fill the shelves with fresh bread, pies and sweet treats, and finally meet so many of you who have been cheering us on from the very beginning.
Thank you for your patience, your encouragement, and for sticking with us through every twist and turn. Your support has meant more than you’ll ever know.
The countdown is officially on... 🌾

Help us settle the all important Aussie debate!

Are we sauce-ing… or absolutely not??
(a beef pie has got to be sauced right.. surely!)

Drop your vote below 👇

🍅 YES! Sauce is non-negotiable.
🥧 NO! A good pie should never need sauce.

and if your team sauce.. tomato, bbq or something else?

and before you ask! We are still in phase “opening soon”! 😅
It seems we’re still tangled up in more ‘red tape’ than pastry 🙃
(It’s not stopping us from our ‘quality control’ duties though)
