Humble Beginnings


Sarah Mitchell started baking sourdough in her Paddington garage during lockdown. What began as a hobby quickly turned into something much bigger when neighbours started asking to buy her bread.



Building a Customer Base


"I listed my business on Trusted Locally and the reviews started pouring in," Sarah says. "Each positive review brought more customers, and suddenly I needed a real shopfront."



The Power of Community


Sarah credits much of her success to the local community. "People here really want to support local businesses. They go out of their way to leave reviews and tell their friends."



Advice for New Business Owners


"Start small, focus on quality, and don't be afraid to ask happy customers for reviews. Those reviews are gold for a new business."
