Description

Specialties

We grind all our own flour every day, from local organic grains, and bake 100% whole grain breads and pastries, but is the people behind everything that we make that sets us apart. Our ingredients as well as all the grocery items we sell are produced by people we know; sustainability through personal relationships. It is beyond local, or organic or even sustainable, it just feels good.

History

Established in 2009.

Five Points Bakery was conceived upon discovering a French made stone mill. The ideas born from its function paralleled its simple form. The idea was to grind wheat for bread making. And so set the tone for what was to come…

A store appears just a stone’s throw from Kevin and Melissa’s house, in a neighborhood they have inhabited for close to ten years. The front of the store gets fixed up, and Melissa starts dreaming of a local store. «What about all the hard things to get locally: beans, oil, cheese? Bread?»

Enter the mill. Yes you have a store, yes you have a mill, but what about the wheat? After months of sourcing ingredients and researching the endlessly fascinating story of wheat there was none to be had. Searching harder there were more dead ends, then alas, it was found.

The joy of seeing that wheat fill our barrels and waiting to be cleaned was like a warm blanket being wrapped around cold shoulders. REAL FOOD AT LAST!

Business Owner

To be truly «alive,» a neighborhood, like people, needs a source of good food. Our culture has moved our food sources further and further away from our homes. Today, most people drive 10 – 20 minutes to buy food that is produced thousands of miles away.

I believe change comes not from fighting the current system, but choosing to live differently. It gives me great pleasure to now be able to offer my neighbors as well as my family a sustainable source of good food.

Getting back to the basics has been a consistent pull in my life. From spinning wool, to cheese making and canning, the idea of being self sufficient has driven me to pursue many different hand-​crafts. Knowing first hand how things are made has provided me with a greater respect for the things I consume. Getting to the root of how things are done, also provides me with peace, security and contentment.
