Announcing: New Bread Share

Honey Bee Bakery has a new bread share available in partnership with Crossroads Community Farm. We are offering a fresh whole grain sourdough loaf to go along with your farm fresh vegetables! Whole-wheat sourdough bread: Our bread is made from organic stone ground wheat flour, fermented sourdough starter, and sea salt. Each loaf has organic grains or seeds added. Varieties include wild rice, wheat berry, walnut, sesame seed, and sunflower - pumpkin seed. Baked just before delivery, our whole wheat bread is delicious.

Bread share/CSA model: The bread share we offer is based on the CSA (community supported agriculture) model. The CSA model provides a small producer with a viable business structure and is founded on a goal to connect our community to food that is produced in a sustainable manner. Honey Bee Bakery is committed to using organic ingredients. We support family farms and strive to foster mutual aid. Honey Bee Bakery is happy to join the Crossroads Community Farm in building local economies and local relationships.

Anyone can join. Pick up times are each Wednesday, June – October at locations on the west side of Madison. Eastside pick up also available.

Please sign up below if you would like to become a bread share member.

Farmers Market Season

Honey Bee Bakery's stand is open for business at Madison area farmers markets. You can find us three days a week April through November at the Westside Community Market, Eastside Farmers Market, and the Monona Farmers Market.

During the winter, we attend the Mad West Winter Market at the Lussier Center and the Eastside Farmers Market inside the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center.

Featuring many fine breads and sweets:

• Whole grain organic breads:



• A starter made from fresh milled flour leavens our 100% whole wheat bread. The bread has the slight sour of a 'sourdough' but the sweetness of whole wheat. Varieties include the popular wheat berry, wild rice, sesame, and seeded. The rosemary bread, also naturally leavened, is made from both organic all-purpose and whole-wheat flour for a bit lighter loaf that allows the flavor of the herbs to shine through. For those who like a dense rye bread we feature sunflower wheat and rye leavened by a rye starter passed down from the famous Bread and Puppet Theater. We love Italian breads and offer a variety of yeasted breads inspired by that tradition. These include potato bread, semolina bread, and cornmeal bread. You can be sure that the grains are organic and every loaf is nutritious.



• Pastries:



• For the farmer's market Honey Bee Bakery makes a fruit studded butter-cake, whole- wheat muffins, and a variety of tartlets and individual fruit pies. Many love our organic cream puffs topped with honey caramel. Our sandwich cookies and shortbread bars are very popular sweet treats. In addition, we offer savory biscuits and mini quiche featuring seasonal produce and cheeses from fellow farmers market vendors. Honey Bee Bakery uses local produce and Wisconsin farm fresh dairy to create each pastry.

Where to find the goods:

The Honey Bee Bakery stand can be found at Madison area farmer's markets.

Honey Bee Bakery will be at the Eastside Farmers Market on Tuesday afternoons, the Westside Community Market on Saturday morning, and the Monona Farmers Market on Sunday morning. We are on the waiting list for the Dane County Farmers market so look for us there in a few years.
