Our goal is to operate a bakery that features locally made breads, sweets and other goodies using only locally sourced (within 100 miles) ingredients.
We only use delicious local honey as a sweetener. We source over half of all of our ingredient needs directly from local farmers. Even our grains are locally sourced, and you'll love how many incredible varieties there are!
We feel that by staying local, we can make a big difference in our economy as well as our environment.
Thanks for tasting, and cheers to living "la vida local"!
