Hand-shaped loaves, a wood-fired oven, quality organic and/or non-GMO ingredients properly prepared and the keen attention of our skilled baker come together to create this healthy, flavorful, chewy, and crusty bread for your enjoyment. 

All bread loaves are free of baker’s yeast, oil, sweeteners and preservatives. 

Each bake is uniquely connected to the environment - the wild yeast, the firewood,  and the ever-changing seasons combine to create the true “Staff of Life.” 


Sourdough is a process of fermentation using naturally occurring microbes. Wild yeasts, and lacto-baccillus bacteria provide the culture to ferment our grains (wheat, rye, and spelt). In the process, which takes many hours, the grains are broken down. Complex carbs become more digestible, simple sugars. Proteins become amino acids. Gluten is neutralized into a more digestible form.

Properly prepared grains via fermentation allows minerals, both in the flour and the mineral rich Celtic Sea Salt we use, to be absorbed in greater quantities. 

Everyone benefits from this alternative to commercially produced yeasted breads (including the commercial sourdoughs that contain bakers yeast), but especially people who struggle with balancing blood sugar, weight, and wheat or gluten intolerance.
