Awesome by nature!
At Earth Origin, we believe great bread starts with respect - for ingredients, for people, and for the planet.
Based in Cape Town, we produce thoughtfully crafted breads using time-honoured baking principles, supported by modern, state-of-the-art technology to ensure consistency, quality, and food safety at every step.
Our range is designed for everyday enjoyment: honest, flavourful breads made to suit modern lifestyles while staying true to traditional baking values.
A family tradition
A proud father of four, Milton Wheeler strived to provide his family with the very best.
As a child in the 1940s, working alongside his father, he farmed the lush pastures of the Manawatū region in New Zealand. The use of pesticides and fertilisers was simply not an option. Instead, they relied on organic farming methods to ensure his family and the broader community received a regular supply of wholesome, nutritious grains and vegetables.
He later refined the art of stone-ground milling to ensure the full goodness of the grain he so diligently grew was retained. No additives or bleaching agents were added to his flour.
Earth Origin is a tribute to my father, as we continue his legacy of providing our customers with the very best in bakery mixes, produced the way it used to be — no chemical preservatives, no genetically modified ingredients. Just 100% pure goodness.
— Geoff Wheeler (CEO)
