Before The Local Baker, Warren was a photographer. 📸
Then lockdown changed everything. And sometimes, life has a way of leading us somewhere we never imagined we’d go.
For Warren, it started with sourdough.
What began as baking at home soon became something more. One loaf at a time, he started delivering freshly baked bread straight to people’s doors, sharing a little bit of comfort during an uncertain time.
Until one day, a loaf found its way to Sheryl and Caz.
They tasted it. They believed in it. And just like that, a new chapter began.
Six years ago, The Local Baker found its home at Oranjezicht City Farm Market. What started with a few humble sourdough loaves grew into something much bigger.
Swedish buns. Cardamom buns. Cinnamon buns. Pastries that make you pause mid-conversation, follow your nose, and promise yourself just one more.
Today, Warren’s buns have become part of the Oranjezicht experience. A familiar smell drifting through the market, a reason to return, a little ritual woven into countless weekend mornings.
And perhaps that’s the beautiful thing about stories like Warren’s. Sometimes, the path we never planned becomes the one that feels most like home. Sometimes, all it takes is a little courage, a good loaf of bread, and someone who believes in what you’re making.
Somewhere along the way, a photographer became a baker. A lockdown hobby became a livelihood. And a leap of faith became part of the fabric of our market.
