A little flour. A little fire. A lot of care.

Good bread.
Nothing rushed.

Our bread begins with organic ingredients, natural sourdough fermentation, and the hearth of a wood-fired oven. We source the highest-quality organic ingredients we can find, locally and regionally.

We’re a Maryland Cottage Food Bakery. Each loaf and pastry is made to order in small batches—with care from the first mix to the final bake.
