Peter and Pearl Brown, co-owners of the Old Mission Bakery, have made traditional baked goods made from scratch with many local ingredients since 2009. A customer favorite, Caramel Walnut Apple Muffins, made with locally sourced apples, Saigon cinnamon, house-made bourbon vanilla bean paste and crushed walnuts, all topped with caramel drizzle, is back on the menu.

            The family has always preferred a healthier, higher fiber bread. After two decades of casually bringing homemade buns to food-focused events, they developed a delicious bread full of minimally processed grains and take pride in their slow rise, 24-hour baking process that makes real, delicious food of the highest quality. The Browns give back to the community by donating extra bread to Food Rescue.
