Origin "Gluten Free Bakery"

I have just recently met Tara the other day she booked an appointment with me at The Hair Garden Salon but unfortunately I was sick and had to cancel. Tara than asked me if I had a sitter to look after my son, I could not find anyone to take him for the morning. Tara was so wonderful that she babysat my son, while I rested!

Tara than told me that she is one of the owners of ORIGIN a gluten free bakery! I was thrilled! I have so many clients with a Gluten allergy and I just prefer Gluten free baking! Origin makes amazing breads, bars, Quick breads, Muffins, and Cookies!

Origin is a new bakery in Victoria, offering exclusively gluten-free baked goods! It all started when two friends, Tara Black and Marion Neuhauser, realized that their friends with dietary restrictions were having a hard time finding tasty wheat-free baking. We love food so much that instead of just being sad for them we decided to do something about it. Our use of high quality, natural and organic ingredients, along with our discerning sense of taste, ensures we provide baking that everyone gluten intolerant or not- can love. Since we only use gluten-free ingredients, we can make sure there is no cross-contamination, so go ahead and enjoy without worry!

Tara Black completed her culinary training through North Island College and Vancouver Community College, and has spent the last 16 years building her career as a pastry chef. She has worked in bakeries and cafes, large wholesale producers and hotels. Some of her more recent employers in Victoria include the Inn at Laurel Point, and Pure Vanilla.

Marion Neuhauser started her culinary training at Camosun College, expanding her food knowledge through work at chocolateries, butcher shops, and fine restaurants throughout Canada and Europe. Marion's idea of a good night is hanging out with Tara to talk about, cook and eat food.

Visit Origin at the Bastion Square Market every Saturday throughout the summer. You will be able to purchase our delectable baked goods or pick up orders. Look for us across from Camille's.
