Can You Bread Our Mind?

Leavity Bread returns to the Downtown Farmers Market!

This is Todd. He's always been passionate about food and community. On a trip to Europe, he fell in love with traditional, long-fermented sourdough. After returning home, Todd spent years honing  the art of baking it. Today, together with his awesome team of bakers, they're excited to return to the Downtown Farmers Market!

During a family brainstorming session (which involved a few bottles of wine), Todd’s sister suggested “Leavity” — a mashup of “leavened” (a type of long-fermented European-style bread) and “levity” (meaning lightness and fun). 

Leavity’s breads are packed with nutrition. High percentages of whole grains provide critical fiber and minerals. Long fermentation times —20 hours, versus only about 4 for store-bought bread —increase bioavailability by breaking down fiber, starches, and proteins into smaller units, making them easier for the body to absorb. Leavity bread is well-tolerated by people with gluten sensitivities (but not celiac disease).

Missed the Market this week? You can buy Leavity Bread and their rotating menu of sandwiches, flat breads, scones, and coffee at their store at 1000 South Main Street Suite 101. Hours are 7:30am to 2pm except Mondays.
