When Ciara O’hartghaile returned home to Co Antrim, after a year living in New Zealand, she and her husband had a clear mission: to build a community around love of good food, in their home town of Ballycastle.
They started to bake high quality sourdough bread in the small domestic oven of their rented apartment, just three loaves at a time. Today, they run the highly successful Ursa Minor Bakehouse café, a cookery school, and a professional bakery turning out 300 loaves a day!
