About
When made the way your ancestors made it, bread is more flavorful and easier to digest. That’s why we do what we do.
And when your ingredient list is as short as ours, having high quality and fresh sources is incredibly important. That’s why we seek out local and organic ingredients whenever possible.
All our breads are (currently) hand mixed and shaped by Jeff Nixon at his home in Centennial, CO

Spruce House Bread: Jeff Nixon's Award-Winning Centennial Cottage Bakery Showcasing Long-Fermented Sourdough With Organic Local Ingredients

Spruce House Bread operates as a cottage bakery at 7198 S Spruce Street in Centennial, Colorado where baker Jeff Nixon hand-mixes and shapes all breads at his home using wild yeast sourdough culture and long fermentation methods that demonstrate how traditional bread-making techniques produce more flavorful and digestible products than industrial processes. Following the philosophy that 'when made the way your ancestors made it, bread is more flavorful and easier to digest,' Nixon sources organic and local ingredients whenever possible, recognizing that short ingredient lists require premium-quality components to achieve exceptional results. Operating on a cottage bakery model where customers place online orders for Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday pickup with menus rotating weekly and posted every Sunday, Spruce House Bread proves that small-scale artisan production can achieve professional recognition while maintaining home-based operations accessible to individual bakers. Nixon's commitment to craft earned Best In Show, Best Professional Entry, and Best Bread awards at Denver Bake Fest in both 2023 and 2024, validating that Colorado's grain chain includes world-class bakers who prioritize traditional methods and quality ingredients over production volume. Featured on Daily Grains' platform since September 2022, Spruce House Bread exemplifies the regional grain economy's emphasis on artisan producers who transform local and organic grains into celebrated products through time-honored fermentation techniques, demonstrating how cottage food laws enable skilled bakers to build professional reputations and serve communities without requiring commercial bakery infrastructure.
