About Wildcraft

Welcome to Wildcraft! 

Hi I am Muhaimina Allsopp a.k.a Mina , the proud owner and passionate baker behind this cosy haven for gluten-free delights.

Due to declining health, in 2010 I stopped eating Gluten on the recommendation from my health professional and I haven’t looked back since! While I loved having a body that “worked” again, I was not enjoying the lack of quality Gluten Free Foods on the market, so I decided to do something about it. Faced with the challenge of finding delicious treats that catered to my dietary needs without compromising on my taste, I embarked on a mission to create my own. In 2013 I started doing stalls at local farmer's markets and shows and the demans for my gluten free cakes and bakes completely blew me away! When the opportunity came in 2016 to move Wildcraft out of my dining room into a unit on an Industrial Estate near my home, I grabbed it with both hands! I went from "I would love to have a proper bakery some day" to "I'm opening a bakery in 3 months!". But unlike most people who open a business like this, I did not have deep pockets and thousands of pounds to throw at this new venture. I had £1000, some extraordinary friends and customers and a hell of a lot of determination! Wildcraft operated out of Unit 13 until 2020 when we opened a Bakery Shop and Cafe in the heart of Meanwood, as well as a Nationwide Mail Order Service in the heart of a global pandemic. Wildcraft's journey has been full of Ups and Downs, but through it all, our commitment to provide high quality gluten free food that everyone can enjoy has not wavered!

At Wildcraft, we believe that gluten-free shouldn’t mean flavour-free. With a focus on quality ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship, each of our creations is crafted with love and care to deliver a truly unforgettable taste experience. From indulgent cakes and pastries to hearty breads and savoury snacks, every item at Wildcraft shows our dedication to serving quality gluten-free products. 

Beyond food, Wildcraft is also a place of community and connection. We welcome guests to share the simple joys of good company and delicious treats. As a small locally-owned business, we love supporting our community and nurturing relationships with the centre of Meanwood. Our newly-refurbished Cafe is now an Interactive space that has been designed to encourage people to explore S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, arts and Maths) principles through Play. 

We also take great pride in being a Neuro-Affirmative, LGBTQIA+ friendly workplace and put a lot of work into minimising barriers to Participation and Belonging at Wildcraft. As an Autistic, ADHD'er myself, I know how challenging life can be for people who are outside of society's "Norms" and do everything I can to make sure that my team feels supported and welcomed, no matter who they are or how their brains or bodies may challenge them.

Thank you for visiting our page and joining us on our journey whether for a quick bite or stocking up on treats for a special occasion. We are thrilled to have you as part of the Wildcraft family. 

Together, lets indulge in the joy of gluten-free delights, savouring life’s sweetness, one bite at a time!
