Coloradans are a smart and go-getting bunch, so it should come as no surprise that many of our local businesses come complete with their own fascinating histories and stories. Take, for instance, the story of the Ferment Artisanal Bakery, whose story is as delicious as the food itself:
Please note, Ferment Artisanal Bakery has permanently closed.
Located in Boulder, Ferment Artisanal Bakery is a unique home bakery that is not only on a mission to feed Colorado but to teach the world about the art of fermentation.
What is fermentation? It is - in terms of food processing - when carbs are converted into bacteria, alcohol, or yeast, the latter of which the Ferment Artisanal Bakery uses to craft their mouthwatering bread.
"At Ferment, we are passionate about the art of fermentation," so much so that they are "using the resources we have—our business, our knowledge, and our voice—to encourage a lifestyle of health and sustainability and create a community of passionate fermenters."
Thanks to these core values, Ferment manages to go above and beyond with their final product: "Naturally Leavened Sourdough" that is made with only water, salt, and wheat flour.
