Willow Run Bakery

Contact: Candace Willis

Phone: 540-433-9203

Email: bluerockfarm@hughes.net

Products: Breads include: challah, sprouted grains, whole wheat, sun-dried tomato basil, potato rosemary, oatmeal, cranberry walnut. Also: pizza crusts, scones, bear claws, ginger-molasses cookies, baked oatmeal, seasonal breads and cookies.

Availability: Year round, Saturdays only.

Farming practices and philosophy: After years of baking contemporary white flour-based breads, I became enlightened to the nutritional value of whole grain-long fermentation breads. As the old grandmother’s saying goes, “The whiter the bread, the sooner you’ll be dead.” With a few years of experimenting, I have come up with these recipes. All my breads are made with 100% fresh ground whole-wheat flour. The long fermentation process results in a shelf-stable loaf with deep, complex flavors and superior nutritional value. For those watching carbs, we also offer a sprouted-grain bread and a multi-grain bread made with some sprouted grains. Sprouting the grain increases the protein content and creates a unique texture and chew. Stop by for samples!
