General

Do you still offer tours?

We no longer offer tours of our facility. They were discontinued in December of 2007; the viewing aisle with the windows that was previously the heart of our tours has been removed, so we no longer have a way for visitors to view our production areas.

Freshness

Should I refrigerate my bread?

Please do not—refrigerating the bread causes it to dry out quickly.  If you are not going to consume the product within a few days of purchasing, we recommend that you freeze it.  For example, many of our customers freeze half the loaf and keep the other half on their counter.  Others freeze the whole loaf, and pull out and thaw individual slices as needed.

Are Natural Ovens Bakery products dairy free?

Yes, all of our products are dairy free.

Are Natural Ovens Bakery products gluten free?

No, all Natural Ovens Bakery products contain gluten.
We investigated producing gluten-free products, and discovered that the only true way to guarantee a product is gluten free is to make it in a plant that does not produce any bread using gluten.  As all the rest of our products contain gluten and we do not have a spare bakery to use, we have chosen to not produce any gluten-free products.

Yes, all of our products are nut-free and made in nut-free facilities.

When will my order ship?

We ship once each week, on Monday. This is to ensure that our customers receive the freshest product possible. Some destinations are a four day delivery from our shipping point, so by choosing Monday as our ship date, we are assured that all orders are delivered before the end of the week and not delayed over the weekend. Orders must be received by us no later than Thursday – 4 pm for phone and fax orders, and midnight for website orders – to be included in Monday’s shipment.
