Rustic Bakery was created to address the growing Artisan Cheese market in the United States.
Seeing that there were no handmade Artisan crackers available to compliment the increasingly
sophisticated cheeses being produced, the founders of Rustic Bakery decided to develop a line of
organic flatbreads in 2005.
In January 2006, Rustic Bakery incorporated and with the help of its investment group, purchased
and moved into its new location in Larkspur. The bakery has a 50 year history and was the site of
the much beloved "Bread & Chocolate" bakery before. After completing renovation, the bakery
opened its doors on March 3, 2006 to a warm response from the neighborhood.
Rustic Bakery flat breads are baked by hand with organic grains and seeds, using local ingredients
whenever possible. The flat breads are all low in fat, high in fiber and full of nutrients making them
naturally good for you.
