The Fall CSB begins October 9th
Ordering will begin September 24th
Here’s how is works:
This CSB will run 4 weeks: October 9, 16, 30, and November 6. Please note: we will be off October 23.
Choose from one of the three categories below. Each week, you will receive a new variety of bread within that category. If you need 2 loaves of bread a week, try a couple of the categories. If you are new to our bread subscription and want to give it a try, or if a weekly loaf is more than you need, choose the “every other week” option (see below). 2 of the 4 weeks you can also get Pizza Crusts and Sticky Buns and Cardamom Buns (see below).
Pick up is Thursday from 4 PM to 6 PM at our home: 441 Juniper Street in Mahtomedi. There are several options for late pick up and if you will be out of town for a week or two we can freeze your loaf/loaves for pick up when you return.
Orders are processed through PayPal. Add all the items you want to your cart before checking out.
If you prefer to pay by check or Venmo, first contact Bryce at bryce@companionbreads.com to place your order and to arrange payment.

***50% of the flour used in each loaf is an organic, heritage grain, such as, Red Fife, Spelt, Rye and Emmer. These grains have been used in bread making for hundreds of years. They have rich flavor and some people find they are more easily digested. The higher subscription price is due to the higher cost of Heritage grains.
