The bakery is known for its use of local grains, including collaborations with local farms like BKW Farms and Hayden Flour Mills. It operates five days a week, offering a rotating menu of 35 bread specialties, 70% of which are made with local grains. The bakery's mission is to cultivate a sustainable and engaged Tucson food community. It features breads like Einkorn, which is high in protein and low in gluten, making it easier to digest.
