Bread Alone is an American bakery producing long fermentation organic breads since 1983.[1] The company began with founder Daniel Leader and his family selling wood-fired loaves at their bakery in the Catskill Mountains, and through farmers markets from the trunk of the family station wagon.[2] Bread Alone has grown to produce their signature long fermentation organic breads for retailers across the county in addition to running three local cafes. The company serves as an example of sustainable, slow food production in the Hudson Valley.[citation needed]
Products
[edit]Bread Alone's certified organic sliced breads are their most popular and widely available long fermentation breads.[citation needed] Each loaf features regionally grown and milled flours and ferments for as much as 24 hours, producing a variety of bold and robustly flavored sourdough breads.[1] These items are baked at their bakery just north of Kingston, New York, in addition to an array of packaged organic bagels and table breads.[citation needed]
They also produce a variety of wood-fired and fossil-fuel-free breads at their carbon neutral flagship bakery.[3]
The company was originally headquartered at Bread Alone's flagship bakery in Boiceville, New York, which features original brick ovens built by French mason, Andre LeFort. In 2014, Bread Alone opened their new headquarters at their Kingston bakery.[4]
Environmental stewardship
[edit]Bread Alone's founding was inspired by the back-to-the-land movement, prioritizing the use of organic flour before there was a USDA certification.[2] The company commits 1% of sales to environmental non-profits through 1% for the Planet.[5] Bread Alone sources organic flour from local and regional mills that source grain from organic North American farmers. They are climate neutral certified, and they source the majority of their power from renewable sources, with a commitment to source 100% by 2030.[6] In 2022, they re-built their Boiceville bakery and café to be fully electrified and fossil fuel free.[7]
