Sourdough Bread Club

Join the Sourdough Bread Club for one freshly baked Seasonal Sourdough Country Loaf every week. Our country-style loaf changes with the seasons, giving you something new to look forward to throughout the year.

Our bread is a Farmer's Apprentice loaf, baked a few doors down and served at both restaurants. Alden Ong, our executive chef, and Gary, head chef at Grapes, start each one with an idea or an ingredient — often something we have too much of, or something that deserves a second life. Corn nixtamalized in our own kitchen becomes a sourdough. Juiced lemons become preserved lemons, then a focaccia. The inclusion gets folded into our country loaf, built on organic whole grain flour from Anita's Organic Mill and Flourist and mixed by hand over a long, slow ferment. Two or three test loaves over a week or two, tasted by everyone in the kitchen and adjusted until it's right. Every loaf has a condiment made to go with it, which you can add to your order.

Past Loaves

• Nixtamalized corn sourdough with pumpkin seed and cilantro dip
• Fermented forbidden rice and seaweed sourdough with seaweed butter
• Sweet potato country loaf with coffee butter
• Potato, rosemary and preserved lemon focaccia

Condiments are made in small batches and change with the bread. Add one at checkout.

After Sunday’s cutoff, your loaf is counted into the week’s bake. If you can’t collect it, please let us know so the bread doesn’t go to waste.

Missed pickups

Your loaf is baked for you once Sunday's cutoff passes, so we can't refund or credit a pickup you miss. Send a friend in your place, or let us know and we'll make sure the bread goes to someone who'll eat it.
