We make your bread to order! This means that:

Orders Containing Fresh Bread 

To avoid your order idling in transit, orders containing fresh bread are shipped on Mondays only. Orders must be placed by 2pm the Friday prior.

This means that if place your order over the weekend, the next available day to ship your order will not be the Monday coming, but the one following. 

Orders Containing Only Pantry Items 

Orders containing only pantry items are shipped as soon as the stock is available—usually within 1-2 business days of placing your order. 

Delivery Date Requirements 

If you have special delivery due-date requirements, please leave us a note when placing your order.

Our entire range of Certified Organic pantry items are available from our Webstore; including Granola, Muesli, Sourdough Breadcrumbs, Oats and Almonds.

Our Millet & Linseed and Sprouted Lentil & Quinoa loaves are also available from our Webstore, as they are vacuum packaged and thus more stable and suitable to be shipped. Please keep in mind that we bake to order, and all orders containing fresh bread are shipped on Mondays only, to avoid your order idling in transit.

Our entire range; including sourdough breads, muesli, granola and breadcrumbs is Certified Organic and thus made from 100% Certified Organic or Biodynamic ingredients, many of which we source from Australian growers. 

As a Certified Organic bakery, we live by the philosophy that good food begins with good soil. Organic Certification means independently audited strict standards are maintained from farm to bakery. This guarantees the absence of chemical, pesticide or GMO traces and emphasises the health of agricultural soils; producing food of integrity, provenance and flavour.

No yeast is used in our bakery whatsoever! 

Instead, we use a Certified Organic sourdough leaven that was created by the Farnan family, ZBS founders, in Wholefoods Kitchen in 1981 as the foundation of our long fermented sourdough breads. 

Our pursuit is good bread from the ground up, providing honest nourishment through fresh Certified Organic and Biodynamic ingredients and natural long-fermentation. 

This is particularly a feat for the loaves in our range characterised by a light, soft crumb such as our Ciabatta, Focaccia and Brioche, which is more difficult to achieve without the addition of yeast, but well worthwhile. 

We source Certified Organic and Biodynamic flours from Wholegrain Milling and Powlett Hill Biodynamics, both of which mill fresh to order so that we receive flour within a week of milling. Both specialise in stone-milling, a process that  allows for the grain to pass through the mill slowly and at cooler temperatures to preserve the precious essential enzymes and nutrients retained in the wholegrain, which also translates to a more robust and complex flavour profile.

Using fresh, Certified Organic and Biodynamic flours is fundamental to our pursuit of food that is alive and truly nourishing.
