About Cottage Lane
Baked to perfection, every single day.
Cottage Lane was born from fourth-generation family bakery Breadcraft in rural New Zealand (Masterton, Wairarapa). Since our first loaf in 1942, Breadcraft has strived to provide delicious food and exceed expectations; our team at Cottage Lane are continuing that legacy!
Breadcraft was founded in the 1940’s by Harold Cockburn, and remains in the family four generations later, with John and Julie-Anne Cockburn at the helm. Weâre incredibly lucky to continue âfeedingâ the passion the Cockburn family has for excellent food and community-focused business through Cottage Lane and our sister brand Rebel Bakehouse.
Cottage Lane is committed to creating a positive workplace, operating sustainably and innovating constantly, which is why weâre still known for quality and excellent taste after more than 80 years! Our once-little bakery has big dreams, and weâre excited to share more of our delicious products and make artisan easy for more people as our business grows.
Our products make it easy to bring the taste of the freshest artisan bread right to your own table or to serve to your guests.
Our 72-hour slow fermentation process helps our natural sourdough starter infuse our products with maximum goodness and flavour.
Our products are carefully crafted using traditional techniques and the best ingredients. For our dedicated team, no detail is too small!
We continue to perfect the European flavours that our master bakers adopted in 1942, and we love developing new and exciting twists on these beloved classics.
With our multi-generational legacy, large local team and our sustainability efforts, we love to make a big difference for our community and beyond.
We have been honing our baking expertise and recipes for decades. We're still growing, and are excited to see what the future holds for Cottage Lane!
