We are just starting to fill out this page with Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ), so this will be filled over the next
several weeks to several months. If you'd like to see a question
answered here, please e-mail us your question and we'll answer
it for you and post it here.
1. Who are you?
We are two families working together; Glenn and Kathy Crowther
and children, and Doug and Amy Middleton and children.
2. What are you doing?
We are working together to provide healthy bread and baked goods
to people, support our families, and work to build the kingdom
of God on the earth.
3. Why are we doing this?
We believe that we are called to have the bakery. See the
testimony on the "About Us" page for additional information.
4. Why use local wheat?
We are acquainted with Jack G. who has grown the organic wheat
we have used for the last three years. He has actually grown
organic wheat for over 12 years and does a good job at it. We
buy it directly from him and store the wheat in the basement of
our bakery. By buying local wheat we know who we are buying from
and what we are buying.
5. When do we bake?
We currently bake on Monday, Thursday and Fridays (Fridays only
during market season). Shipping goes out on Monday only, so you
must have your order in by Sunday afternoon
6. What is the shelf life of the bread?
The shelf life varies depending on the item, outside air
temperature, travel time to you, and the time of the year. We DO
NOT use any type of mold inhibitors, dough conditioners, or
artificial chemicals to lengthen the shelf life. Bread usually
lasts 7 to 10 days on the counter. Freeze our bread for up to
two (2) months. Freezing is actually better than putting it in
the refrigerator.
7. Where are you located?
Our bakery is located in a small town in Northwest Missouri,
approximately 60 miles from Kansas City International (KCI)
airport.
8. Do you use white sugar?
No, we use honey and evaporated cane juice for sweeteners.
9. Do you use hydrogenated vegetable oils?
No, we use olive oil and butter. We are looking at the
possibility of using coconut oil. It seems to have some very
good health properties. We will do further test bakes and
further evaluation.
10. Why do you use organic wheat?
It tastes better, it's better for you, and better for the land
too. More information coming soon on our links page too.
