3800 block of Garfield

4400 block of Harriet

3600, 3800, 4000, 4500 blocks of Grand

We never add preservatives or stabilizers of any kind. We always love our bread best the same day it was baked, but all of our loaves and rolls freeze very well too.

Executive Order Signed to Suspend Evictions Statewide

By

Governor Tim Walz today signed an executive order to halt eviction proceedings during this emergency. Preventing the loss of housing during the COVID-19 crisis is critical to keep individual households, and the public at large, safe.

Today’s order states that tenants who can continue to pay rent should do so. It also states that landlords and financial institutions may not begin eviction proceedings that would remove tenants from stable housing. More information is available here.
