Our Bread
The art & alchemy of sourdough
There's an art and a science to successfully baking sourdough bread. With every bake, every morning, we love the challenge of managing that balance. We follow a simple approach to achieving the highest quality bread possible: combining high-quality flour, water, and salt to produce delicious, nourishing bread. All of our bread is leavened with naturally occurring wild yeast and allowed to ferment for a minimum of 18 hours to develop a rich texture and flavor. The result is bread which maximizes the nutritional content and flavor profile of the grains.
What's in the basket?
Our subscription customers have the option of receiving a small or large loaf each week. Each month, subscribers choose to receive weekly, fresh-baked deliveries of either a baker’s choice loaf (flavors vary each month), Meadowood sourdough (our house loaf), or our cinnamon raisin loaf.
We offer a growing selection of specialty loaves, including: honey spelt; olive herb; seeded multigrain; polenta rosemary, and cherry rye. Seasonal offerings, emphasizing locally-sourced ingredients, include cranberry orange; pumpkin polenta, and apple cinnamon. For a full list and description of flavors, see below.
The way bread should be made...
"This bread is absolutely delicious! I feel I need an advanced degree in chemistry to decipher the 50+ ingredients in most bread options today. This bread is a throwback to the way things should be—made with just 5 simple ingredients, crafted by bakers who truly care about providing healthy, nutrient-dense options to their community. John's not only incredibly accommodating but also a pleasure to work with. You can tell he genuinely cares about his craft, and it shines through in every loaf. Highly recommended!"

Beyond the loaf
Our 100% sourdough focaccia comes in several flavors (including rosemary & sea salt, jalapeno cheddar, and olive herb) and is available at farmers markets. We also offer a number of baked goods incorporating our sourdough starter discard, most notably our wildly popular rye & espresso chocolate chunk cookies.
