Hello, I'm Stacey Macdonald.

Welcome to my cozy corner of the far west coast of the Isle of Lewis, where every loaf tells a story of passion, resilience, and a touch of island magic. I'm Stacey, a wordsmith turned sourdough artisan, weaving tales through the alchemy of flour, water, and wild yeast. Following a transformative journey of a total hip replacement in September 2023, I discovered a newfound love affair with sourdough bread. Little did I know, my humble hobby would soon captivate the taste buds and hearts of the community. Nestled amidst the rugged beauty of the Isle of Lewis, Crumbs from the Croft - my micro bakery - is a haven for those who seek the authentic, the artisanal, and the extraordinary. Here, each loaf is crafted with meticulous care, using only the purest ingredients nature has to offer—high-quality flour, pristine water, and the untamed wild yeast, nurtured with every turn of the dough. In a world where shortcuts reign and mass production prevails, I stand firm in my commitment to tradition and integrity. Every loaf bears testament to my dedication, taking a patient 48-hour journey from humble beginnings to golden-brown perfection. It's not just bread; it's a labour of love, a symphony of flavours, and a reminder of the simple joys found in life's slower rhythms. But I'm not just a baker; you could say I'm a storyteller, a community builder, and a guardian of tradition. From a single loaf sought by a family, neighbour, or wanderer to the tiniest batch, each creation carries the essence of the land, the sea, and the soul of the Isle of Lewis. So step into my world, where flour dust dances in the air, and the aroma of freshly baked bread whispers tales of resilience and connection. Here, amidst the rolling waves and endless skies, every slice is an invitation to savour life's simple pleasures—a taste of the island, a slice of serenity, and a moment of pure, unadulterated bliss. Welcome to the enchanting world of Crumbs by the Croft — a place where every loaf is baked with love and served with a side of island magic.
