Local, organic and direct from the farmer.
Fresh Milled Flour In Every Loaf
We grind fresh on a commercial stone mill at the bakery.
Every loaf is made with freshly milled flour from wheat berries.
Our flour has nothing added, or nothing removed.
Whole. Fresh. Real.
Our Process
Each loaf of sourdough takes 36 hours to produce.
Time and attention are employed as we use gentle, slow, cold fermentation.
We use all our senses to steward each loaf to its absolute peak.
Preservative Free

Though their online shop spans everything from specialty pantry items (think fruit preserves and olive oils) to locally grown produce and even pizza dough,
sourdough is where Bread & Flour shines.
And it all starts with the ingredients.

Mark and Kristin have finally and completely brought incredible bread to the desert.
The loaf I had Sunday, with olives and a hint of citrus had me swooning for two days...
Head to the farmer’s market on Thursday's and give this try for sure!

MindBodyGreen Founder - Jacob Wachob sits down with Dan Buettner
Author of the Blue Zones
Every time we have the privilege of sitting down with longevity expert, National Geographic fellow, and founder of Blue Zones Dan Buettner, we learn something new. We've become pretty well versed in everything Blue Zones over the years (this is Buettner's fourth time on the mindbodygreen podcast, after all), and yet—he continues to surprise us with his gems for living a longer and healthier life.
I'm A Longevity Expert: These Are My Top Underrated Foods For Living Longer
1. Sourdough
"Sourdough bread is leavened not just with yeast but lactobacillus, and in the process, most of the glutens are neutralized," says Buettner. Research shows this process can actually assist digestion—that's why some people with gluten sensitivity might actually fare well with a slice of sourdough, as the fermentation transforms the bread and causes the gluten to diminish substantially.
"And we don't exactly know why, but when you eat a plant-based meal with sourdough bread, the glycemic index of that meal goes down," he continues. "So the sugars in that meal are absorbed more slowly," and your body is more likely to use those sugars for energy (rather than storing them up in your system). "In Sardinia, they are eating sourdough bread with just about every meal for their entire life—and I think it's a true longevity food," Buettner adds.
