Using the best quality natural ingredients and family recipes, Phillippa's specialises in producing products that are no longer regularly made in the home, keeping alive the art of bread, pastry and preserve making.

Founder Phillippa Grogan's passion for food helped support her through university as she worked in catering while studying for an arts degree at Melbourne University. After living in London for nine years and working at Clarke's, an award-winning, food store and bakery, Phillippa returned home in in 1994 to open her Armadale store.

By 1999, the bakery had outgrown its Armadale premises and Phillippa's opened a wholesale bakery in inner-city Richmond that produces breads, pastries and a grocery range. Throughout this expansion, Phillippa's has remained true to its founding principles, using traditional methods and natural ingredients to keep alive the time-honoured arts of pastry, bread and preserve-making, always with the emphasis on great flavour.

Breads are made from time doughs, sour doughs and organic flours using natural fermentation processes. Inspired by family recipes and the traditions of CWA, pastries and provisions are made just as they would be made in the home using quality natural ingredients which gives them a distinctive flavour and texture.

They are made on site in her Armadale, Brighton and Richmond Bakeries and supplied to select Victorian and national stockists.

Phillippa's is a partner of The Stephanie Alexander's Kitchen Garden Foundation, which aims to develop life-long healthier eating habits in children by engaging them in growing, harvesting, preparing and sharing delicious and healthy food. Phillippa's supplies bread to many of the Victorian primary schools involved in the program.
