Trainer profile

Ken Hercott grew up on a wheat farm in the Mallee, Victoria. He started baking at home using flour milled on farm, then took his passion to the US to work under master baker Richard Bourdon, alongside Chad Robertson.

Returning to Austalia, Ken then worked with John Downes (the legend of Australian sourdough) at Newrybar and then at the Natural Tucker Bakery. There he honed his skills using a wood-fired oven. Ken’s passion for sourdough bread also led him to Europe, where he baked and taught at Fattoria Barbialla Nuova, in Tuscany.
