We cold mill all of our grains in house to ensure the highest nutrient content & to preserve flavor.
All of our products are naturally leavened - yes, even our chocolate chip cookies!
We support the local farmers in our community and source all of our ingredients from right here in Charlotte.
We like to bake with the season so expect our menu to rotate every few weeks. For bread subscriptions, feel free to specify any of our loaves you love (or loathe) to make sure we meet your bread needs each and every week!
I really love that you are eating my bread. Or cookies. Any of it really. I am probably one of the nerdiest individuals on this planet when it comes to getting my grains + breads + pastries just right but I hope you get to experience all of the love that’s baked into every last baked good.
I feel so privileged to get to bake for all of you knowing your bellies will be filled with so much life when you eat it! Bread is meant to be broken with the ones you love and that is my hope for all of you.
The word “Companion” means those who break bread together.
So with that in mind…let’s!
Thanks to our friend Steve (my very old starter), all of our breads and croissants are naturally leavened. Depending on the product, our goods are fermented from 24-72 hours to both develop our flavours and to increase digestibility for all of our bellies. Gluten really isn’t the enemy! This is why our pre-order schedule is the way it is. Our first day of production is milling, followed by a day making a variety of doughs. Then we let the doughs ferment to ensure each bread product is full of the utmost nourishment. Then we bake.
