Beanies Wholefoods, Sheffield - Organic Box Schemes. We are delighted to announce that 4 and a bit years after opening the bakery it has now become a separate co-operative in its own right.
While it is no longer formally affiliated to Beanies we are happy to support the new company in their enterprise and are proud of the success that Cat Lane Bakery has achieved. We feel that Cat Lane Bakery will be able to respond more efficiently to the growing demands of its customers as a separate enterprise. The new business will still maintain its organic certification and will be looking to extend its range of products to include more varieties of bread and a new range of savoury vegetarian and vegan pies.
Beanies hopes that you will join with us in wishing the new team at Cat Lane Bakery - Gill, Paul and Ben - every success in the future and will continue to support them through the transition period.
