Bakeries Restaurants & Retailers
About
We are a (mostly) wholesale small bakery focused on making the best bread we can using local and organic ingredients without the use of commercial yeast. I am a former CPA turned stay-at-home-dad turned full-time bread baker. Until recently we operated out of a tiny room in my house (second picture) but have since moved into a production space off Market Street in Wilmington.

Surprisingly these started-a-bakery-out-of-my-home stories where their businesses grew into a brick-and-mortar space keep popping up. Many of them at least try to source their grains and flour locally. Inspiring on both fronts:

I’ve been waiting for the “right” moment to share some exciting news about the future of Wilmington Bread Company and finally decided that there’s really no such thing so here we go! We signed a lease a while back and have been building out a new production space that will allow us to better serve the community of Wilmington and surrounding areas. I also left my career as a CPA and am now dedicated to producing naturally leavened bread full-time! Finally, we have brought on a couple of new team members that we will introduce soon. The new space will be primarily production to start but may eventually expand to online order pickup and/or light retail.

Curator's Notes
They started out of a home and eventually grew into a commercial space. At the time when we added them to our database, they had moved their operation into a commercial space but were mainly focused on wholesale orders with potential plans for online ordering and pickup from commercial space.

If you see an organization marked as Cottage Food Business, it means that they started out as one, not that they necessarily still are.
