Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked
Questions, answered.
A few things worth knowing about how we bake, and how to get the most from your bread.
Why do you bake to order?
Because our breads are preservative free, we never bake for inventory. Through our Community Supported Bakery (CSB) model, everything we bake is already destined for a kitchen, a table, or a shared meal. The result is fresher bread, enjoyed at its peak, and less waste along the way.
How long does the bread last?
Typically 3 to 7 days on the counter, depending on the season. Summer’s heat tends to shorten the window, while cooler months help a loaf linger a little longer.
What’s the best way to extend shelf life?
If there’s one secret to making good bread last, it’s the freezer. Slice before storing it in an airtight, freezer safe bag, then toast straight from frozen.
Are the loaves sliced?
All of our breads are sold whole for a reason: keeping them intact preserves moisture, flavor, and freshness longer. We recommend using a sharp bread knife, like this one.
Why organic flour?
Bread quality is shaped by the grain it starts with. We choose organic, high protein flour because it creates a more nourishing bread. Just as importantly, organic farming practices leave out glyphosate and other synthetic herbicides, ingredients we believe have no place in bread.
What is RO filtered water?
The ingredients in bread matter, including the water. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a four stage filtration process that removes up to 99% of common contaminants, including lead, arsenic, PFAS, fluoride, and nitrates. We insist on it because something as foundational as bread deserves ingredients that are as clean and carefully considered as possible.
