Moorrees

11/10/2026

To everyone who's just found us: welcome. Here's how we got here. 🌾

Our Swartland story didn't start with bread. It started with my Mom. She had dementia, and my Dad needed extra help, so we moved to Moorreesburg and made a new home where we could support them both.

Here, surrounded by wheat fields, we found our next chapter. On the 1st July 2021 Moorrees opened its doors.

Every loaf still carries that beginning: slow, patient, and made with care for the people around us.

🥯 Meet the Moorrees Sourdough Bagel

Long-fermented sourdough. Only natural ingredients. Nothing rushed, nothing added.

Ours lean towards Montreal rather than New York: a little smaller, denser, chewier, with that golden, blistered crust. They're made for tearing, toasting and loading up.

And they freeze beautifully. Keep a bag in the freezer and you're always one toaster away from a proper brunch. Think of them as the brunch accessory that goes with everything: smoked snoek, cream cheese, a runny egg, or just good butter.

📍 Always available frozen at Moorrees, and fresh on selected bake days.
🕘 Shop hours this week:
TUES - THUR 8am-4:30pm
FRI 8am-5:30pm
SAT 8am-2pm

Popping up this Saturday, 9am till sold out:

Jacobsbay Artisanal Farmers Market The House Of Bean and Leaf

Come early. Sourdough doesn't wait, and neither do bagel fans.

🥯 Ontmoet die Moorrees Suurdeegbagel

Lank gefermenteerde suurdeeg. Slegs natuurlike bestanddele. Niks gejaag nie, niks bygevoeg nie.

Ons s'n is meer Montreal as New York: effens kleiner, digter en taaier, met daardie goue, geblaasde korsie. Hulle is gemaak om te skeur, te rooster en hoog te laai.

En hulle vries pragtig. Hou 'n sak in die vrieskas, en jy is altyd net een rooster weg van 'n regte brunch. Dit is die brunch-bykomstigheid wat by alles pas: gerookte snoek, roomkaas, 'n sagte eier, of net goeie botter.

📍 Altyd bevrore beskikbaar by Moorrees, en vars op geselekteerde bakdae.

Hierdie Saterdag van 9vm tot uitverkoop by:
• Hopefield Mark
• Jacobsbaai Ambagtelike Boeremark

Kom vroeg, want suurdeeg wag nie, en bagel-liefhebbers ook nie.

Real sourdough only needs four things: real ingredients, time, and Bertha. 🍞

No shortcuts, no additives, nothing you can't pronounce:
🌾 Stoneground flour – milled fresh, from grain grown down the road
🧂 Khoisan salt – natural sea salt
💧 Water
⏳ Time – long fermentation lets the dough do the slow, patient work

And Bertha, our almost 40-year-old sourdough starter: older than some of our staff, moodier than all of them, and the only one at Moorrees who gets fed before the humans. Keep her happy, and she'll give you a crust worth fighting over.

Fresh out of the oven every Wednesday to Saturday at Moorrees – or find us at your local Bread Partner or market.

Regte suurdeeg het net vier dinge nodig: regte bestanddele, tyd, en Bertha. 🍞

Geen kortpaaie, geen bymiddels, niks wat jy nie kan uitspreek nie:
🌾 Klipgemaalde meel – vars gemaal, van koring wat net om die draai groei
🧂 Khoisan-sout – natuurlike seesout
💧 Water
⏳ Tyd – lang fermentasie laat die deeg stadig en geduldig sy eie werk doen

En Bertha, ons amper 40-jaar-oue suurdeegkultuur: ouer as party van ons personeel, meer buierig as almal van hulle, en die enigste een by Moorrees wat voor die mense kos kry. Hou haar gelukkig en sy gee jou 'n kors wat die moeite werd is om oor te baklei.

Vars uit die oond elke Woensdag tot Saterdag by Moorrees – of kry ons by jou naaste Bread Partner of mark.

📍 Tue–Thu / Di–Do 8am–4:30pm
Fri / Vr 8am–5:30pm
Sat / Sa 8am–1:30pm
Closed Sun & Mon / Sondag & Maandag gesluit (Bertha rests too / Bertha rus ook).

Be brave...
Choose sourdough in Sept!

It’s Sourdough September: join the sensationally simple sourdough swap!

This year, the Real Bread Campaign is keeping things super simple. Our call to all is to dough just one thing: swap whatever bread you normally make or buy for genuine sourdough.

Just once. That’s all.

Your swap might be from a favourite bread to a sourdough version of it; or kicking sourfaux in favour of the real deal. It’s also a chance for people to taste things they haven’t tried before.

Sourdough opens the door to a world of choice. Rather than a style of bread, sourdough is a process. It can be used to make pretty much any type of bread on the planet, savoury or sweet, ranging from crusty to soft.

You can find everything you need to know about sourdough, sourfaux, making and buying, what's happening, and the Campaign, at www.realbreadcampaign.org

Thanks Martha wiles art for the image.
