Bread

We make our bread from scratch everyday.

We start with certified organic flours, stone-ground by Lindley Mills, a family owned and operated flourmill. Applying time-honored techniques and traditional methods, our bread is created with organic certified grains, seeds, nuts, fruits and sea salt. Each loaf is hand shaped and hearth baked to ensure a crisp crust, coupled with a soft crumb. We don't use sugar, fats or preservatives in the preparation of our loaves. Commercial yeast is used only on a limited basis. Most of our breads are leavened naturally, using traditional whole-wheat sourdough and a slow fermentation. These techniques make the bread taste better, creates a chewier texture and helps it retain moisture longer.
