Hobbs House are the first British bakery to become certified under B Corporation, a global movement driving change in society through ethical and sustainable business. Many of our suppliers are signed up to sustainability schemes – we ourselves have been certified organic since 1997. Smaller businesses can’t afford accreditation but we choose all our suppliers carefully to ensure high standards.Local Circular Economy
Hobbs use Shipton Mill flour from Tetbury and it’s also used in Stu’s Sourdoughs and stocked by ourselves in the Farm Shop. The staff at Shipton are great at supporting small local shops.We like to go local and use Bassett Stationery, Rouse and Ron’s Stores for our stationery and hardware supplies – and we find they’re cheaper than the big guys!
