We don't use any chemicals or preservatives, and we use natural starters and long fermentation processes to create true Old-World-style artisan breads. We use a different starter for nearly every type of dough, carefully maintaining numerous different starters on any given day (including our 22-year-old natural sourdough starter named Bob), which is what gives our breads their unique character and flavor.

Our guiding philosophy is uncompromising dedication to quality, maintaining the integrity of the artisan process, using only the very best all-natural ingredients, and creating an environment for artisan bakers to thrive.
