Island Bakery was one of the first brands we imported and have been imported for about 20 years. About Island Bakery Joe & Dawn Reade were fresh-faced and naïve young graduates of the University of Edinburgh when they started baking bread in a converted garage in Tobermory in 1994. The local baker was retiring, and the islanders needed someone to keep them in lovely fresh loaves. In 1996 they bought a shop premises on Tobermory’s colourful Main Street, which became the Island Bakery Delicatessen. It was through stocking the deli with tempting specialty foods that Dawn realized there was a bit of a gap in the market for tempting organic biscuits. Keen to make something that could travel beyond Mull, the Reades thought that biscuits seemed to be an excellent product to introduce to places beyond the island’s shores. In 2001 Island Bakery Organics was born. Initially, the range had just 4 varieties. Quality, not quantity! By 2007, the biscuit side of business had overtaken the deli, and the Reades made the difficult decision to sell their shop to concentrate on biscuits. Soon afterward, plans were made to build a new bakery. The new premises were completed in June 2012. Powered by local renewable energy – wind and water for electr Read their story
