New bakery after too much sourdough made for wife
BBCA couple who accidentally baked more sourdough than they could eat, then reached out on social media for savoury snackers to help scoff the excess, have since set up a micro-bakery, such was the response.
The From Our Oven venture began after Mark Evans made too much bread for wife Jenna at home in Telford.
Six months later and artisan cakes and breads are made in their kitchen for customers, with the goods handed over in pop-up locations - including a pub car park.
At one such site one weekend, they sold out of products in 22 minutes, the couple stated.
Mrs Evans recalled of the project's origins: "[There was] far too much [bread] for us to eat, so we've got like a little community page in Doseley where we sort of asked everyone 'does anyone want some? We've got far too much'.
"As you can imagine, lots and lots of people did... Then they started saying 'do you do anything else'?
"Actually we've always baked, [and] then we started getting asked for sweet stuff."
Mrs Evans said they fostered alongside baking "and we're really passionate about good quality, home-cooked food [where]... you know what's in it".
The goods are sold every week at either the car park of The Travellers Joy pub in Horsehay or Green Fields Farm Shop in Donnington.
Mrs Evans said she "just on the off chance" went up to the pub and asked "'can we use the car park?' because we don't really want people keep coming to our house".
She explained: "[The pub] had some brownies and cookies off us to sell to... customers on a weekend and that's where it all started really and then a few shops got in touch... and wanted to have some brownies and cookies."
She added that items on sale were not "gimmicky" or "full of lots of processed things".
"It's just food you want to eat and I think that's what people want.
"They want food that they just... know where it's come from."
Mr Evans said: "We want to have a small bakery where we know the customers and we know the people and once we sell out, we sell out. We don't want to be mass producing 100 loaves of bread a day."
