Burton Raffel, world renowned translator of Old English literature (Beowulf, Canterbury Tales, Shakespeare), stops in for his weekly loaf of Dakota bread.  Jane is a big fan!  Read Mr. Raffel's Bio.

Christian Jules LeBlanc (Michael Baldwin on Young and the Restless) and Winsor Harmon (Thorne Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful) fell in love with our Honey Bunnies (it's the latest drama).

This pictorial depicts the life of Popeye Bread.  We are baking it on Thursdays.
It is loaded with spinach, chunks of Parmesan Cheese, red bell peppers, & cayenne!

Thanks to Jason Cohen for these awesome photographs.

These are just a couple of photos from our last tour.  We talk to the kids (& adults!) about the benefits of whole grains and how to read labels in the grocery store.  They get to check out the mill where we grind our wheat and look inside the huge oven and lots of other equipment. Of course, we always get our hands dirty with a baking project!

Mr. Philip Gould, renowned photographer, was in today to pick up some bread. 
Obviously, he didn't take this photo.  Someone on staff did.  Can you tell?

Last weekend we converted our Chocolate Brownie Bread into some giant LEGOs for a birthday party.
Here's what it looked like!

If you happened to see us on Passe' Partout, here's a copy of the recipe that was highlighted.

Great Harvest Meatball Sandwich Casserole  

It's a great way to get your kids eating whole grains if they aren't so happy with whole grain pasta.

Thanks to all who voted for us! We are so excited about being voted BEST BUSINESS of Acadiana in The Times of Acadiana Reader's Poll.

We received a visit from the First Lady, Mrs. Laura Bush.  This is not a joke!  Here's the photo to prove it!   The story goes... she was not able to eat at the party she had just attended so she requested that they stop at our store for some bread!  In case you're wondering, she purchased a loaf of our flagship Honey Whole Wheat, our Farmhouse Hamburger Buns and our Baker's Special for the Day, Popeye Bread.

Our bread was highlighted in The Independent. Check it out.
