We are a family run artisan bakery based in Todmorden and Hebden Bridge providing a wide range of vegetarian/vegan confectionery, pastries and bread.  Established in 1989, Saker Vegetarian Foods began it's life some years before as Gillygate Co-Operative in York. After moving to Todmorden in Lancashire/West Yorkshire Karl Badger, originally with Alex and Stuart, created what would become a well established supplier to the length of Britain.

The main focus of Saker Foods became a firm adherence to the strict guidelines of organic baking. Saker has been affliated with the Soil Association and more recently, the Organic Food Federation (OFF). We proudly display our certificate in the window of our Saker Organic Bread outlet on Market Street in Hebden Bridge, because we feel that all our customers deserve to see that the products they're buying from us are certified organic.

Vegan confection especially has become our strong point. We have dabbled in organic vegan cheesecakes, cookies, brownies, crumbles, flapjacks and shortbreads. We introduce new products for limited periods of time to assess their popularity. Some of our products are seasonal such as our Hot Cross Buns (which are Not Cross Buns the rest of the year), Christmas Cakes, Stollen, Cranberry and Chestnut Rolls, mince pies and sweet mince rolls.

Our dedication to providing vegans with a wide selection of both sweet and savoury foods has earned us a firm standing in the North of England; we have been reviewed in the guide to eating vegetarian 2011 beside other fantastic food establishments in Calderdale. Having a choice of what to eat without harming animals is close to our hearts, as is making healthy choices.

Karl Badger is the baker of our breads, making all bread from scratch, fresh, every morning, seven days a week. Alongside another very experienced baker who has worked for Saker for over a decade, the sweet and savoury products are made in the bakery in Lydgate, Todmorden and delivered with the bread straight from the oven to our outlet in Hebden Bridge.

In 2009 after returning from New Zealand, Clare Stagg- daughter of Karl, opened the Saker Organic Bread Shop. Within months 'The Shop' had gained the reputation as the go-to place for fresh, organic bread daily. The Shop now has a large client base with customers travelling miles to come in. Many of the regular customers have become good friends of the company. We also supply and support local business' ranging from cafes to hotels.

Clare has over four years experience in customer service, qualifications in food and business management and has worked in the bakery since the age of five, where she would make up flan boxes stood on bread baskets! Clare has an in-depth understanding of various nutritional requirements, needs, intolerances and allergies and can provide advice on how our products can benefit you.
