Here is just a sampling of the breads we make, from scratch, at our shoppe:
Large and small white, lg. and sm. whole wheat, lg. and sm. light rye, lg. and sm. caraway light rye, dark rye, potato, vienna, lg. and sm. french, cracked wheat, sourdough, english muffin, 7-grain, swedish limpa, swedish rye, cheese-onion bread, chili, oatmeal and two breads that are sugar and shortening free: chibatta (which is a white crispy crusted bread) and our extremely popular German 6-grain (full of lots of good stuff like flax seed, rye & wheat flour, corn, oats, barley, sesame and millet). All of our breads are either preservative free or use natural preservatives.  They freeze well and taste great!

Wow...I was told today by another store owner in Spooner that Green Day members have been in our bakery and love it!  They vacation near Spooner with in-laws.  They also bought ice fishing gear at a local clothing store on Christmas Eve.  In the past we've had the host from Hometime out of the Twin Cities.  He's stopped numerous times on his way to a cabin build shoot in Hayward.  No matter where you go, our little town is recognized for it's unique, family owned shops.  You can bet they wouldn't be coming to Spooner to go to Wal-Mart!!!  Hurray for Spooner! :)

We currently have an opening for a full-time baker. Must be able to lift 50+ pounds when needed, be dependable, honest, hard working, take pride in your work, clean, and able to work early mornings. Wages will be based on experience, which is preferred, but we will train the right individual. Contact Phil @ 1-888-840-5059 or 715-635-2643 (late mornings)

We're busy making changes at our shoppe. The walls are being painted, new home-decor merchandise is arriving daily and we've started making shamrock cookies for St. Patty's day...we can also make GREEN breads and buns, but they go fast so make sure to order ahead! (Surprise your kids for lunch and make them sandwiches on green bread)

Since Easter's fast approaching, we've started making hot cross buns, today is the first day of Lent :). We also make an awesome braided coffee cake we call a King cake, filled with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon sugar and topped with colors truly fit for a King. Watch for our place to be hopping with bunnies, chicks and eggs when we start making our delicious old fashioned cut out cookies.

Hope to see you soon...think GREEN!

Over the years, all of us have offered a helping hand at the bakery.  Phil and Nancy worked together there before they were married, Dan and Kim met there and Mike and Julie worked together as well.  All our kids were raised in the shop while customers enjoyed watching them grow up:)
