Muddy Fork Bakery

Muddy Fork is home to Indiana’s only wood-fired brick-oven bakery, where we make the finest sourdough and whole-grain breads and croissants. In summer 2020 we installed a solar array that fully powers our bakery. We mill mostly Illinois-grown grains fresh for each bake on our stone mill. We make our bread in the ancient tradition–lots of water, freshly milled flour, salt and a wild leavening culture. The fermentation is long and slow, and the loaves have a crust that crackles and a light, moist crumb that keeps for days.

We bake our bread and pastries in the early morning hours every Saturday and bring them at the peak of freshness to farmers’ market and stores.
