How do we know your breads are Organic?
Our ingredients are certified organic, standards are checked regularly and if you visit our shop in Montclair the ingredients Organic Certification stamps are visible.

Under the 2002 standards, produce and other foods that consist of at least 95 percent organic ingredients can carry the USDA's organic seal, while foods that are at least 70 percent organic can bear the phrase "Made With Organic Ingredients."Although The Bread Company does not stamp its breads with the USDA's organic seal, more than 95% of the ingredients we use are organic.

These standards are much stricter than those the USDA initially proposed, which would have permitted the use of genetically modified foods and sewage-based fertilizers. Angry letters from the public -- 275,000 of them -- sent the USDA back to the drafting board. (The Natural Resource Defence Council)

Can I find your bread at supermarkets?
Sorry but no, as there are no preservatives in our bread, the shelf life is such that keeping supermarkets properly stocked is impossible.

How long does your bread last before going "off"?
If left out on the counter, 3 or 4 days. We recommend freezing bread you think will not be eaten within that time as it greatly increases the breads life.

We can not make everything every day, it's just not humanly possible, so please call ahead to find out when we are making the bread you want!

What sweeteners do you use?
Maple syrup is our main sweetener which is good news for diabetics as it is more easily broken down than refined sugar. There are only 1 or 2 items made with brown sugar, call if you have questions.
