Our story

‍
Hi, I’m Michael, the founder and baker behind Rustic Grain Bakery. I spent over a decade working as a chef in professional kitchens, including some renowned Michelin-starred restaurants. While my primary focus was on cooking, I was always captivated by the simplicity and significance of bread—a timeless staple that brings people together.
‍
Years later, I finally decided to try my hand at bread making. What began as a humble experiment quickly turned into an all-consuming passion. Who would have thought that a few simple ingredients could pose such a challenge? But through persistence, I found not only a craft I love but a way to connect with others

‍Our Mission
‍What sets Rustic Grain Bakery apart is a focus on bread that’s as nourishing as it is delicious. Our vision is to serve the community with fresh bread that connects us and offers real nutrition—free from the laundry list of unnecessary additives often found in supermarket loaves.

This commitment to quality starts with our ingredients. We source our flour from local mills just miles away, supporting nearby farmers and ensuring exceptional quality in every loaf. By choosing local, we not only elevate the flavor and integrity of our bread but also strengthen the community that inspires us.

At Rustic Grain Bakery, bread is more than food—it’s a celebration of simplicity, craftsmanship, and connection. We’re proud to deliver our loaves directly to homes in Morris County, creating a deeper bond with the people and places we serve.
