The Freedom Bakery staff are very special to Natasha and she to them. Most of them joined Freedom Bakery after hearing that there was an opening, as Natasha has not ever advertised positions. Some of the staff have previous experience and training, and others are being trained by Natasha.
Natasha started developing gluten-free bread and muffin recipes 10 years ago when her son was diagnosed with a gluten allergy. She started selling at markets 7 years ago, before opening Freedom Bakery in De Waal Road in 2013 and then moving to the current address.
