Baking for people & planet.

Real bread, no shortcuts

Our Certified Organic, sourdough breads are made with water, salt and organic wheat, transformed through the unhurried magic of fermentation. In a world that moves fast, we proudly go slow.

FAMILY FOUNDED, FUTURE FORWARD

From our humble beginnings as a family bakery in the Catskills, we’ve dedicated ourselves to sourdough, people, and planet. Over 40 years in, we work hard to serve folks simple, honest breads and foods that speak to the best in us.

Sourdough for all

Not all bread is created equal. Long fermentation leads to bread that is better for your health, naturally longer lasting and tastes delicious, without nasty preservatives. We believe the world deserves more real, honest bread.
