Our Story
Maple & Rye began with a wild yeast starter and a commitment to slow-fermented artisan sourdough, built to serve our local neighborhood with fresh morning bakes.
Founded in 2020
In 2020, our husband-and-wife team began baking slow-fermented sourdough from our home kitchen. We perfected each loaf through quiet daily practice before opening our storefront for scheduled local pickups.
We partner directly with regional grain growers, choosing unbleached stone-ground flours to achieve rich crumb texture, dark caramel crusts, and natural digestibility in every batch.
Fermentation Method
01
We feed our heritage sourdough culture daily using unrefined regional grains.
02
Stone-ground flour and water rest during autolyse before fine sea salt is folded in by hand.
03
Shaped loaves ferment slowly in wicker baskets overnight to unlock deep flavors.
04
Loaves are hand-scored and baked on hot stone decks until crusts turn golden caramel.
