What our fans say...


When my husband and I travel to Oregon, we always make sure to come home with a number of loaves of Applegate Valley Artisan Bread. We usually munch some on the trip home to the San Francisco Bay Area, and once we get home, pop the rest into the freezer. Because these loaves are so hearty, I thaw them completely before refreshing in the oven. I mist them generously and place them right on the oven rack for five minutes at 350*. They come out hot and crisp and fragrant, just like fresh baked!
What we don't finish at dinner gets used the next day. We like the Sunflower Flax bread toasted for breakfast and smeared with peanut butter; the Country French and Blue Cheese Walnut are wonderful in French toast; and we love the Olive Bread cubed and sauteed with herbs in olive oil for croutons!
Dennis and Pat Larson's bread is the BEST!

What immediately impressed me about Applegate Valley Artisan Breads is their attention to even the smallest details. The wood used to fire their ovens is always hardwood that is properly seasoned to provide plenty of heat for the oven without excessive smoke or soot residue. The oven hearth was always well cleaned before the hand-tossed loaves were slid onto the oven floor where the stored heat from the oven ceiling, walls, and hearth floor quickly transformed the naturally-leavened grains into warm, moist, crusty works of edible art. I love the variety that comes from their willingness to try new ideas and the results, like their Blue cheese walnut, sunflower, Kalamata olive, and other unique loaves have been perfected so that they are consistently excellent. Bread truly is the staff of life and I could exist almost solely on Dennis and Pat’s Applegate Valley Artisan breads (maybe with just a little wine and perhaps a bit of cheese).

Dear Baker, I visited your booth at Ashland's Farm Market this week buying some of your breads. Mmmm! Were they ever delicious. I work in a bakery back home & have become so fussy about the bread I will eat....but honestly, I could be happy forever with your sunflower-seeded loaves!

I wanted to tell you how wonderful your Country French Bread is. I found it at Market of Choice (now Rays). I've tried a lot of breads and this one is one of the best. Thank you for its simplicity and goodness. Keep up the good work!
