Mountain Oven Organic Bakery creates all-organic breads and other tasty things at 6,000' up in Paonia, Colorado.
Chris and Emily began baking in Crested Butte in the winter of 2010. First selling bread out of the house in a small CSA style operation to friends and neighbors. Mountain Oven was created in March of 2010 with the intention of growing to sell at the summer farmers market. Gathering friends around the tasty cause, they soon formed into the "breadmafia" as locals began calling it. A gang of friends who baked and danced into the night in group effort to produce a reasonably priced highly nutritious product for the town and its people.
Thus began the spread of positive energy.
Now Mountain Oven is an establish bakery that sells a variety of products to health food stores and restaurants in the Gunnison Valley.
Our home location is our new bakery cafe located at 21 Elk Ave in Crested Butte, open for business with bread, baked goods, breakfast and lunch, and coffee through our partners First Ascent Coffee Roasters.
We stone-grind our own whole-grain flours and use natural leaveners (sourdough culture) for optimal nutrition and flavor. Our bread is hand-shaped, canvas proofed, baked on stones, and made with creativity & love.
All of our ingredients are organic. Whenever possible, we source from local producers.
Wholesome food is nourishing to both body and spirit – feed your soul!
