Vegan Sourdough Masters Ed & Natasha Tatton on Revolutionizing Plant-Based Baking

The Plant Based News Podcast

Welcome back to another episode of the PBN Podcast! In this episode, we’re thrilled to break bread with Ed and Natasha Tatton, the dynamic duo behind 'Ed's Bred', the revolutionary BReD–Organic Sourdough, Whistler, BC's premier 100% plant-based café and bakery. From Natasha's globe-trotting adventures as an English teacher to her heartfelt mission in the front lines of a vegan eatery, to Ed's transformation from a globe-trotting chef to a maestro of vegan sourdough, their story is a delectable blend of passion, advocacy, and artisanal excellence. Dive into the heart of their journey, exploring how they've kneaded their individual paths into a shared vision that's not just about baking bread but about sowing seeds of compassion, sustainability, and community well-being. Hear about the challenges and triumphs they've encountered while turning BReD into a B Corp-certified beacon for plant-based living and how they're using their business to stir up positive change for people, animals, and the planet.
