Bread Alone Bakery & Cafe - Boiceville

For over 40 years, Bread Alone Bakery & Cafe has been dedicated to crafting organic, wood-fired breads with a deep commitment to people and the planet. Founded in the Catskills in 1983, long before organic certification became mainstream, the bakery started as a small family-run business selling loaves from the trunk of a station wagon at farmers markets. Today, it has grown into a leading example of sustainable, slow food production in the Hudson Valley, operating state-of-the-art, carbon-neutral bakeries while preserving its artisan roots.

With production facilities in Kingston and Boiceville, Bread Alone continues to innovate while staying true to its heritage. Their Boiceville location, rebuilt in 2022 as a net-zero facility, runs entirely on renewable energy, while their Kingston bakery embraces the best in artisan baking equipment and is partially powered by solar energy. Despite these advancements, the heart of Bread Alone remains unchanged, baking simple, honest bread in wood-fired brick ovens that have been in use since the 1980s. As they look to the future, their mission remains clear: to nourish communities with organic, sustainable food while setting a new standard for responsible baking.
