"SOME KIND
OF ALCHEMY"

When we opened in January of 2009 with a fully realized oven and several cords of wood to feed it, the curious asked why bake this way, why with wood? Beyond wanting to offer fresh, authentically crafted breads, we were deeply inspired by the rich cultural histories of the hands-on process behind wood-fired baking.

From the initial mixing of the oven’s concrete years ago or the flour and water for the daily bake, to opening the oven door and feeling the heat that gives each loaf its life, and finally hearing the crust cracking as they sing out together from the hearth - it’s all a process. A magical process, some sort of alchemy.

Traditional breads baked on the hearth of a wood-fired oven - this is the way bread once tasted, try it!
