About Akkerman & Dyer Bakery

Akkerman & Dyer Bakery is a wood oven bakery in Blackwood, South Australia, known locally for its handcrafted breads and traditional bakery treats. As a bakery, the business relies on ovens, proofers and refrigeration running for long hours each day, making electricity one of its largest operating costs alongside rent and ingredients. "The significant increase in energy prices has brought our electricity bills up to one of our biggest costs," the team says. "It is now in the same basket as rent and ingredients."
