Every loaf tells a story of patient fermentation, local grains, and hands that still believe the best things cannot be rushed.
Cedar Forest Mill was born from a simple conviction: that the bread on your table should taste like something real. Not something manufactured, not something preserved for shelf life — something alive with flavor, made the way it was meant to be made.
Located on Straightstone Road in Long Island, our mill and bakery have become a gathering place for neighbors who care about what they eat. We stone-grind our own flour, ferment our doughs for days, and bake in small batches because we'd rather run out than cut corners.
Every morning at dawn, the smell of fresh bread drifts through the neighborhood. That's not marketing — that's just how we do things here.
72-hour cold-fermented sourdough with a crackling crust and open, tangy crumb. Baked fresh every morning.
Flaky, golden croissants and pain au chocolat made with European-style butter. Laminated by hand, baked to order.
Whole grain flour, stone-ground in small batches. Available in hard red wheat, white wheat, and rye.
A carefully chosen selection of local honey, preserves, olive oils, and pantry staples from Virginia and beyond.
Buttery dinner rolls and rosemary focaccia, baked throughout the day. Perfect for any meal.
Rotating offerings that celebrate the seasons — from pumpkin bread in autumn to fruit-filled tarts in summer.
We source heritage and modern wheat varieties from local mills, choosing each batch for flavor and baking performance.
Our mill runs slowly, preserving the bran and germ. The result is flour with deeper flavor and better nutrition than anything bleached and stripped.
Our sourdough cultures are fed daily. Doughs rest for 48 to 72 hours in the cold, developing complexity no shortcut can replicate.
Loaded into our deck oven at just the right moment. Baked until the crust sings, cooled, and served the same day — always.
"The first bite of Cedar Forest Mill's sourdough is the kind of moment that reminds you why food matters — simple, honest, and unforgettable."
