Our grandfather would be proud,\u201d Ms Blume said, joking that the difference was, \u201cthere\u2019s no flour dust on the floor\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Her grandparents originally settled in Harcourt in 1922 as a business decision because the town&#8217;s apple trade was booming during the Great War and sending all its fruit to England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Jodie and David Pillinger, new owners of the bakery, brought its 143-year-old scotch oven back to life as part of the restoration \u2013 large enough for 300 loaves of bread \u2013 and it is operating for the first time since 1967 when the bakery was last open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>MP Maree Edwards began the opening ceremony and noted the importance the building held for Harcourt and the region. Her government provided funding of $184,300 to help the renovation of the bakery as part of Victorian Timber Innovation Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\u201cI\u2019ve been driving past this house since 2016 watching the house get developed. I look forward to being able to buy my two apple pies and hot cross buns again,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Lena Cirillo drove from Brunswick to attend the opening and was happy to wait in the long line to try out the artisan-baked goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\u201cI was curious about the historical significance with the Blume family. If you&#8217;re from Melbourne, it&#8217;s worth the drive,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"23611\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-2.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/blumes-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-23611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-2-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-2-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"23612\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-3.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/blumes-3\/\" class=\"wp-image-23612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-3-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-3-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-3-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"23613\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-4.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/blumes-4\/\" class=\"wp-image-23613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-4-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-4-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-4-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"23615\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-6.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/blumes-6\/\" class=\"wp-image-23615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-6.jpg 800w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-6-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-6-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-6-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-6-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blumes-6-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blumes Historic Bakery in Harcourt was officially reopened to the public last Saturday after years of restoration work.
