We bake in small batches for Friday pickup, so ordering earlier in the week is best. Check Square for currently available pickup times and the order deadline. Our planned Thursday 6 PM cutoff will be announced once it is confirmed in checkout.
Keep your loaf wrapped at room temperature if you plan to enjoy it soon. For longer storage, wrap it well and freeze it, then thaw before serving. Avoid refrigerating it, which can make bread stale faster.
