Clach Mhicleoid (Macleod Stone) pictured above, located in the remote village of Horgabost, Harris, stands alone at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Clach Mhicleoid is steeped in clan history which can be traced back to the 13th century, when the Isle of Lewis and Harris was home to the Clan Macleod. Although this standing stone dates back to prehistoric man, it has come to symbolise the significance of the Scottish clan heritage throughout the Outer Hebrides. Stag Bakeries is not as old as Clach Mhicleoid, but we can claim a baking heritage back to 1885, and we are still producing quality goods from the finest ingredients on a clean, unspoilt island location.
Based on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, we are in a unique position in our new bakery to blend old traditional recipes with modern craft ?bakery skills and technology, enabling us to produce top quality products on time, every time and in quantities to meet the requirements of today's market.
The island market is still serviced by our busy traditional bakery, incorporating time honoured methods of long process dough's, developing flavours that have been sadly lost in todays mass production methods.
Training and development of the current workforce is of paramount importance in the bakery, ensuring we have a skilled workforce able to meet the high quality standards we ourselves demand and our customers have come to expect. In 2008 we will be assessed for the Quality Standard SALSA'
Biscuit production has become a key part of our business and the investment in mechanised production and rack ovens, whilst retaining the all important traditional recipes and ingredient quality, has enabled the business to expand into the mainland market with confidence.
In June 2007 we moved into a new purpose built bakery fully equipped with state of the art machinery created among other reasons so as to allow us to offer our products to a wider market.
