Hi all, unfortunately we will not be re opening this weekend. I’m afraid I’ll need a bit more time before we’re ready. However the Halifax Farmers Market will be open this Saturday June 1st and would love your support.❤️

Spring Cleaning !!

We can’t avoid it any longer.😞 Repairs, maintenance, painting, sanding, you name it has begun. And yes, good old-fashioned roll up your sleeves spring cleaning too. Sadly this means that we have to take a break from baking while all this activity is happening. But we’ll be back soon. Stay tuned 😍

You might wonder why we’re interested in California’s ingredient bans. We “banned” these items from our own bakery products years ago. We use all organic grains and sweeteners with no additives or preservatives or chemical colorants. Our processes for making our naturally fermented breads, pastries and crackers are sloooow in order to produce the healthiest and most flavorful foods. We care 💕.

We’ll be at Freedom Food Farm this Saturday at 10am until noon.
PS if you bump into me today and detect a strong aroma of garlic that is because I just roasted 5Ibs of our own homegrown organic garlic. Have you tried our roasted garlic bread yet?😊

The bills take aim at ingredients like red No. 3, titanium dioxide and high fructose corn syrup.

As a bakery we appreciate this sentiment! Grains are the staff of life and an important component of a plant based diet 😍

We grow grains because we value soil health over profit!

When choosing what crops to plant, our questions at the farm aren’t about economic growth but about the best use of the land and the best ways to grow food. Corn, wheat, and rye add biodiversity to our farming ecosystem, increasing the number and types of crops we can rotate. They build soil fertility, making it easier to grow more vegetables with fewer resources. They are great no-till crops, and even farmers who choose to till will only end up doing it once a year. Thumbs up for growing food that’s good to the land.

We are often asked how to keep our breads fresh. This article explains things very well. At home we usually slice first, then freeze our loaves. That allows us to use slices as we need them. I also spritz water on dried out crusty style slices or loaves then reheat—- it works great for me😊


Slicing your fresh loaf of bread the right way can make it last way longer and prevent it from moulding.

We have Irish soda bread this week! Our soda bread is naturally leavened and sweetened only with raisins. Unlike its quick bread counterpart this version is lovely and moist ☘️

Great new improvements at Freedom Food Farm! We hope to see you there this Saturday at 10am. We are a micro bakery that specializes in sourdough—-bread, crackers and pastries made with organic grains

All aboard the green energy train 🚂 Freedom Food Farm is going solar with the help of two grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources ’ Climate Smart Agriculture Program! These two partial grants will help us with the project of converting the farm to run fully on solar energy, as well as installing a backup battery for our food storage units. As the climate emergency progresses, we’re preparing for changing growing and living conditions for ourselves and the people we provide food for. Climate resilience is a necessity for growers like us. We’re looking forward to deepen our commitment to it in early summer when the project will be finished. Stay tuned for more updates ⏱️

Perfect timing! There’s something about being told a snow storm is approaching that triggers a response in my DNA to make soup. I already have two crockpots going! 

A juicy outtake from a recent broth day 👀 Broths are back after a long wait, and we just keep making more for you to enjoy: beef, golden beef, chicken, golden chicken, lamb, and golden lamb are all in stock! Show some love to our kitchen warriors by stopping by a market or online ordering form near you ( https://freedom-food-farm-107398.square.site/ ). Thank you to Hope & Main for providing the kitchen space for our operation.
