Do you work with an organization that does local food distribution? We sometimes have excess frozen loaves of sourdough and we'd love to hook with local folks to get them onto the tables of our neighbors who need it the most. Email [email protected] for more info!

Don't forget, we always offer pay-what-you-can (including $0!) loaves of bread every single Monday in the shop.
