Since 1985 French Meadow Bakery has produced the most pure, organic and artfully crafted yeast free breads that cater to their customers’ special dietary needs, allergies and concerns for the healthiest foods for their bodies.

Lynn Gordon, the founder of French Meadow, is a certified macrobiotic teacher, and for many years prior to her baking bread, taught cooking and lifestyle classes at the Traditional Center for Macrobiotics in St. Paul. Lynn consulted with individuals with cancer and severe illnesses, with a teaching emphasis on healing with whole foods. French Meadow was a natural evolution, and needed bread in the marketplace because of Lynn’s concern with healthy lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental issues.

Not merely a healthy product, French Meadow breads are renowned for their excellent taste and texture, and have been twice named by Bon Appetite magazine as one of the TEN BEST bread bakeries in the USA.

Recently Dr. Susan Love, author of The Breast Book and many other books on women’s health, appeared on Good Morning America, and recommended French Meadow's sprouted Woman’s Bread with soy Isoflavones for women of all ages to prevent osteoporosis, breast cancer, and for overall support and balance of the endocrine system. She had purchased the loaf at a store in Manhattan, and French Meadow has been receiving inquiries since then.
