Our story

Baking in Killorglin since 1952

Founded by Tom and Margaret O'Sullivan, our family bakery has been passed down through generations, from Tom and Margaret to their son Gearóid, and today to Helen O'Sullivan.

From our iconic Kerry Barm Brack to traditional soda breads and our spelt range, everything we bake is made with care, quality ingredients and a genuine love of good bread, from our family to yours.
