Plum & Rye

13/10/2026

A sunny October weekend. Annie’s blooms were the talk of the town, and we’ve added a few new goodies to the lineup.

Sandwiches are back on the menu! This season, we’re filling them with pulled shiitake, pickled carrot and shallot, fresh herbs and cucumber, all topped with chilli mayo. They’ll be ready both days from around 11.

Belle has developed a lovely new low-gluten option. It features a shortbread base, Annie Field rhubarb, organic strawberries and a fluffy coconut topping. You’ll find it in the bakery from around 10:15 for the rest of the year.

And our new slab for the season is here. Organic broccoli, garlic, lemon, chilli and olive oil, on top of our organic country bread base. Morgan generally has these cut up and ready to go from around 10:15.

Hey folks, we’ll be closed on Saturday the 26th, as we are short-staffed and in need of a break.

Open as usual on Friday the 25th from 10am till sold out. Please note there will be a public holiday surcharge of 10%.

See you then!

Warmer weather is here at last. The sun has returned and Annie Field has filled our little bakery with a rainbow of spring blooms.

Fruit bread is back in regular rotation. It’s packed full of apricots, sultanas, currants and cinnamon. As always, it’s made with 100% organic ingredients. You’ll find it on Saturdays only - in the bakery or at Healesville Organic Farmers Market

The almond bun is made from our plant-based dough, topped with frangipane, lots of citrus zest and natural almonds. We’re baking them both days and are thinking they might just become a permanent fixture.

In other news, rye chocolate and miso cookies are back but yuzu olive oil cakes are almost gone. This will also be the final week for potato and leek pies, but lentil sweet potato rolls will continue on a while longer.

See you in the morning 💜

Pie season 🥧

We’re feeling like a proper bakery now with some hot food on the menu. We’ve got a creamy leek and potato pie. It has a sturdy shortcrust base and a flakey puff lid. Our (sausageless?) roll is filled with Mount Zero - Australian Olive Oil, Olives & Produce French lentils, organic sweet potato, lots of herbs, onion and breadcrumbs made from our leftover slab crusts. We recommend them both with a dollop of chilli jam, made from the last of summer’s Chris and Helen tomatoes.

Open from 10 tomorrow!

We’ll be open as usual from 10-2 tomorrow, and then re-opening our doors at around 4pm with mini hot apple pies. There’ll also be a fresh batch of sticky chai. Can’t wait to see you there! Healesville Traders Inc.

A huge thank you to everyone who’s brought us their homegrown citrus this year. It’s been such a treat to put to use around the bakery 🍊

We’ve added a flourless chocolate orange cake to the lineup. While we wouldn’t call anything that enters our kitchen truly gluten-free, we’re most pleased to have an option for those avoiding wheat. There are also some syrupy yuzu olive oil mini cakes, available on Fridays only.

And we’re slowly adding preserves to our little providore shelf. This week we have sweet navel orange or zingy kumquat marmalade. See you then!

The prettiest season in Healesville is coming to an end 🧡

The spiced apple crumble cake has returned, and pumpkin galettes will be around a little longer yet. Sandwiches are taking a break over the winter - they’ll be back when the weather warms up. And fingers crossed there’ll be a cosy addition to the lineup this week 👀

Open from 10 tomorrow. See you then!

Another autumn week in the bakery 🌞

We’ve switched Friday’s fougasse to confit garlic; green olive will continue on Saturday. And the spelt bread will take a brief hiatus while we trial a new date and walnut loaf.

This weekend is looking a little less glorious, but an excellent opportunity to try our luxurious new hot chocolate ☕️
